I apologise. When the proclamation was written, the reference to cherishing all of our children equally did not refer solely to those in socially disadvantaged areas. It gave equal strength and meaning to our Northern Protestant community and it is heartening that those words are still very much alive and that the peace process is bringing about the dividends and bringing the religions in the North of Ireland together. In recent months, we have seen the significant dividend of those words in cherishing all of our children equally. I commend all associated with that, including the distinguished gentleman to whom I referred.
