Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

In light of the terrible atrocity that happened in County Donegal yesterday, it would be right for the House to send its best wishes to the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister in the hope that they will be successful in their efforts this week to move the peace process forward. It is logical that we should do so, given that they are trying to restore full and meaningful democratic structures to the North of Ireland and to respond to the wishes of the people who indicated in the referendums on the Good Friday Agreement that they share that goal. I accept the statement of the republican movement that it was not involved in this murder.
