The Government remains fully committed to the peace process and the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. I will meet the British Prime Minister tomorrow with a view to reviewing recent developments and giving momentum to renewed efforts to restore the democratic institutions. There will be a meeting of the British-Irish Intergovernmenttal Conference on 1 February, which will be attended by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland will convene talks with the Northern Ireland parties, commencing on 6 February.

The "Stormontgate" case, along with a number of other issues, contributed to the collapse of the power-sharing Executive in 2002. However, the primary focus of the Governments and parties must now be on the future and the priority of restoring the devolved institutions in 2006.
