lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I agree with all speakers here today who have said that there is no argument for paramilitary justice. Nobody in Parliament today has condoned or justified the terrible act, but all have called for justice. There is no need for the IRA to continue to exist. Sinn Féin has asked the IRA to cease its armed policy. It should do so immediately. That will help to prevent the recurrence of such acts as the murder of Robert McCartney. However, right now there must be an insistence that those who cold-bloodedly murdered Mr McCartney and those who witnessed it should cooperate fully with the police service of Northern Ireland. Equally, there is an urgent need to moderate the language of politics in Northern Ireland. In recent times the mask has slipped and parties who advocate peaceful means have used inflammatory language, which exacerbates rather than calms the situation. There is a phrase often used in Northern Ireland politics: ‘We all jump together’. Some of those who took that leap of faith in earlier times were not rewarded for their courage and now find themselves more on the periphery than holding the middle ground. Now others stand on the edge of that very same precipice. They have the responsibility and the duty to jump together."@en⁴

Ingen har her i Parlamentet i dag bifaldet eller undskyldt denne forfærdelige handling, men alle har opfordret til, at retfærdigheden skal ske fyldest. Der er intet behov for at videreføre IRA. Sinn Féin har anmodet IRA om at indstille sin væbnede politik. Det bør ske uden ophør. Det vil bidrage til at forebygge en gentagelse af handlinger som mordet på Robert McCartney. Lige nu skal vi dog kræve, at de, der koldblodigt myrdede hr. McCartney, og de, som overværede det, samarbejder 100 % med det nordirske politi. Ligeledes haster det med at få ændret den politiske sprogbrug i Nordirland. Her på det seneste er maskerne faldet, og partier, som er fortalere for fredelige midler, har holdt brandtaler, der forværrer snarere end afdæmper situationen. Der er en sætning, som ofte bruges i nordirsk politik: "Vi springer alle i samtidig". Nogle af dem, som foretog dette troens spring tidligere, blev ikke belønnet for deres mod, og nu er de kørt ud på et sidespor og har ikke kunnet holde sig midt på vejen. Nu står andre på kanten af den selv samme afgrund. De har ansvar for og pligt til at springe samtidig."@da² "Herr Präsident! Ich stimme mit allen Rednern überein, die hier heute gesagt haben, dass paramilitärische Justiz nicht zu rechtfertigen ist. Niemand hier im Parlament hat heute die schreckliche Gewalttat stillschweigend hingenommen oder gerechtfertigt. Alle haben Gerechtigkeit gefordert. Die IRA hat keinerlei Daseinsberechtigung mehr. Sinn Féin hat die IRA gebeten, ihre bewaffneten Polizeitruppen aufzulösen. Das sollte sie auch sofort tun. Dies wird dazu beitragen, dass sich solche Gewalttaten wie der Mord an Robert McCartney nicht wiederholen. Doch zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt muss darauf bestanden werden, dass die kaltblütigen Mörder von Herrn McCartney und die Zeugen dieses Verbrechens mit der Polizei in Nordirland uneingeschränkt zusammenarbeiten. Darüber hinaus besteht die dringende Notwendigkeit, den politischen Sprachgebrauch in Nordirland zu verändern. In jüngster Zeit haben viele ihre Maske fallen gelassen. So verwenden Parteien, die sich eigentlich für friedliche Mittel einsetzen, hetzerische Parolen, wodurch die Lage noch aufgeheizt wird, anstatt sie zu entspannen. Es gibt eine Redewendung, die in der Politik Nordirlands häufig verwendet wird: „Wir springen alle gemeinsam“. Einige von denjenigen, die vor einigen Jahren einen solchen Sinneswandel mitgemacht haben, wurden für ihren Mut nicht belohnt und finden sich jetzt mehr am Rande als in der Mitte des Geschehens wieder. Nun stehen andere am Rande des gleichen Abgrunds. Sie haben die Verantwortung und die Pflicht, gemeinsam zu springen."@de⁹ "Κύριε Πρόεδρε, συμφωνώ με όλους τους ομιλητές, οι οποίοι είπαν εδώ σήμερα ότι δεν υπάρχει καμία δικαιολογία για την παραστρατιωτική δικαιοσύνη. Κανείς σήμερα στο Κοινοβούλιο δεν συγχώρεσε ούτε δικαιολόγησε αυτή την τρομερή πράξη, αλλά όλοι ζήτησαν δικαιοσύνη. Δεν υπάρχει λόγος να εξακολουθήσει να υπάρχει ο ΙΡΑ. Το Σιν Φέιν ζήτησε από τον ΙΡΑ να σταματήσει την ένοπλη πολιτική του. Θα πρέπει να το κάνει αμέσως. Αυτό θα συμβάλει στην αποτροπή της επανάληψης πράξεων όπως η δολοφονία του Robert McCartney. Ωστόσο, πρέπει τώρα να επιμείνουμε, ώστε εκείνοι που δολοφόνησαν εν ψυχρώ τον Robert McCartney και εκείνοι που υπήρξαν μάρτυρες της δολοφονίας να συνεργαστούν πλήρως με την αστυνομία της Βόρειας Ιρλανδίας. Επίσης, είναι επιτακτική η ανάγκη να γίνει πιο μετριοπαθής η γλώσσα της πολιτικής στη Βόρειο Ιρλανδία. Πρόσφατα, έπεσαν οι μάσκες και εκείνοι που υπεραμύνονται των ειρηνικών μέσων χρησιμοποίησαν εμπρηστική γλώσσα, η οποία οξύνει αντί να ηρεμεί την κατάσταση. Υπάρχει μια φράση που χρησιμοποιείται συχνά στην πολιτική της Βόρειας Ιρλανδίας: «Πηδάμε όλοι μαζί». Ορισμένοι από εκείνους που έκαναν αυτό το άλμα της πίστης παλαιότερα δεν ανταμείφθηκαν για το θάρρος τους και τώρα είναι παραγκωνισμένοι αντί να βρίσκονται στο επίκεντρο των πραγμάτων. Τώρα, άλλοι βρίσκονται στο χείλος του ίδιου γκρεμού. Έχουν ευθύνη και καθήκον να πηδήξουν μαζί."@el¹⁰ "Señor Presidente, estoy de acuerdo con todos los oradores que han dicho hoy aquí que no hay ningún argumento que justifique la justicia paramilitar. Hoy nadie en este Parlamento ha aprobado o justificado el terrible acto, sino que todos han pedido que se haga justicia. No hay ninguna necesidad de que el IRA siga existiendo. El Sinn Féin ha pedido al IRA que abandone su política armada. Tiene que hacerlo inmediatamente. Esto ayudará a impedir que se repitan actos como el asesinato de Robert McCartney. Sin embargo, en este preciso momento hay que insistir en que aquellos que asesinaron a sangre fría al señor McCartney y aquellos que lo presenciaron cooperen plenamente con el servicio de policía de Irlanda del Norte. Asimismo, urge moderar el lenguaje político en Irlanda del Norte. Últimamente, la máscara ha caído y los partidos que defendían medios pacíficos han utilizado un lenguaje incendiario, que exacerba en lugar de calmar la situación. En el panorama político de Irlanda del Norte se utiliza a menudo una frase: «Todos saltamos juntos». Algunos de los que al principio dieron este salto de fe no fueron recompensados por su valor y ahora se encuentran más en la periferia que ocupando el medio campo. Ahora hay otros que se encuentran al borde de ese mismo precipicio. Tienen la responsabilidad y la obligación de saltar juntos."@es²⁰ "Mr President, I agree with all speakers here today who have said that there is no argument for paramilitary justice.

Kukaan parlamentissa ei ole hyväksynyt tai puolustellut tätä kauheaa tekoa, vaan kaikki ovat vaatineet oikeutta. IRA:lla ei enää ole mitään syytä olla olemassa. Sinn Féin on kehottanut IRA:ta lopettamaan aseellisen toimintansa. Sen olisi välittömästi tehtävä niin. Tämä auttaisi ehkäisemään Robert McCartneyn murhan kaltaisia tekoja. Nyt on kuitenkin vaadittava, että McCartneyn kylmäveriset murhaajat ja murhan todistajat tekevät täyttä yhteistyötä Pohjois-Irlannin poliisivoimien kanssa. On myös kiireesti muutettava Pohjois-Irlannin politiikassa käytettävää kieltä maltillisempaan suuntaan. Viime aikoina naamiot ovat pudonneet, ja rauhanomaisia keinoja kannattavat puolueet ovat puhuneet kiihottavampaan sävyyn, joka pikemminkin pahentaa tilannetta kuin rauhoittaa sitä. Pohjois-Irlannin politiikassa toistetaan usein lausetta "hyppäämme kaikki yhdessä". Kaikkia niitä, jotka aikaisemmin ottivat tuon askeleen, ei ole palkittu heidän rohkeudestaan, vaan he ovat nyt pikemmin sivussa kuin keskeisellä sijalla. Nyt saman kuilun partaalla on muita. Heidän velvollisuutensa on hypätä yhdessä."@fi⁷ "Monsieur le Président, je suis d’accord avec tous les orateurs ici présents qui ont dit que rien ne justifie la justice paramilitaire. Aujourd’hui, aucun député n’a pardonné ni justifié ce terrible acte, mais ils ont tous demandé que justice soit faite. L’IRA n’a plus aucune raison d’exister. Le Sinn Féin a demandé à l’IRA de cesser sa politique armée. Elle devrait le faire immédiatement. Cela contribuera à empêcher la répétition d’actes tels que le meurtre de Robert McCartney. Toutefois, il faut dès maintenant insister pour que ceux qui ont tué M. McCartney de sang froid et ceux qui en ont été témoins coopèrent entièrement avec les services de police d’Irlande du Nord. De même, il est urgent de modérer le langage politique en Irlande du Nord. Récemment, le masque est tombé et les partis qui prônent des moyens pacifiques ont utilisé un langage incendiaire, ce qui exacerbe la situation au lieu de la calmer. Une expression revient souvent dans la politique en Irlande du Nord: «on saute tous ensemble». Certains de ceux qui ont posé cet acte de foi auparavant n’ont pas été récompensés de leur courage et se trouvent maintenant plus à la périphérie qu’au centre. Maintenant, d’autres se trouvent au bord de ce même précipice. Ils ont la responsabilité et le devoir de sauter ensemble."@fr⁸ "Mr President, I agree with all speakers here today who have said that there is no argument for paramilitary justice.

Nessuno oggi in Parlamento ha condonato o giustificato questo terribile atto; tutti invece hanno invocato giustizia. Oggi l’IRA non ha più motivo di esistere. Il ha chiesto al movimento di abbandonare la politica delle armi, un invito che l’IRA dovrebbe seguire immediatamente. In questo modo, infatti, sarebbe possibile evitare che si ripetano casi come l’omicidio di Robert McCartney. Ora però deve prevalere l’appello rivolto a coloro che hanno assassinato a sangue freddo Robert McCartney e a coloro che hanno assistito al delitto, affinché cooperino pienamente con la polizia nordirlandese. Parallelamente è necessario moderare i toni del linguaggio politico in Irlanda del Nord. Negli ultimi tempi ogni remora è venuta meno, e i partiti che sostengono i mezzi pacifici hanno usato un linguaggio estremamente provocatorio che esaspera la situazione invece di lenirla. Nella politica nordirlandese si usa spesso uno : “Facciamo il balzo insieme”. Alcuni di coloro che hanno fatto questo atto di fede negli ultimi tempi non sono stati ricompensati per il loro coraggio, ed ora si trovano ai margini invece di occupare la loro posizione di diritto al centro. Adesso altri si trovano sul ciglio dello stesso precipizio. Essi hanno la responsabilità e il dovere di compiere questo balzo insieme."@it¹² "Mr President, I agree with all speakers here today who have said that there is no argument for paramilitary justice.

Niemand in dit Parlement heeft getracht deze vreselijke daad te vergoelijken of te rechtvaardigen, en iedereen heeft opgeroepen tot gerechtigheid. Er is geen reden waarom de IRA zou moeten blijven bestaan. Sinn Féin heeft de IRA gevraagd zijn gewapende politiek te staken. Dit dient onmiddellijk te gebeuren. Dit zal daden als de moord op Robert McCartney helpen voorkomen. Maar op dit moment moet men erin volharden dat degenen die McCartney in koelen bloede hebben vermoord en degenen die van deze moord getuige zijn geweest, volledig moeten meewerken met de politiedienst van Noord-Ierland. Tegelijkertijd is er een dringende noodzaak om de taal van de politiek in Noord-Ierland te matigen. Recentelijk zijn er bepaalde maskers afgevallen en hebben partijen die vreedzame middelen bepleiten, opruiende taal gebezigd, wat de situatie nog verergert in plaats van haar te sussen. Er is een uitdrukking die vaak wordt gebruikt in de politiek van Noord-Ierland: “We springen allemaal tezamen”. Sommigen die in een eerder stadium deze sprong van vertrouwen gewaagd hebben, zijn niet beloond voor hun moed en merken nu dat ze zich in de periferie bevinden in plaats van in het centrum. En nu staan er weer anderen aan de rand van de kloof om diezelfde sprong te nemen. Het is hun verantwoordelijkheid en plicht om die sprong gezamenlijk te wagen."@nl³ "Mr President, I agree with all speakers here today who have said that there is no argument for paramilitary justice.

Não houve ninguém, hoje, no Parlamento, que considerasse tolerável ou justificado este acto terrível, todos pediram justiça. Não há necessidade de o IRA continuar a existir.

Jag instämmer med alla de talare som i dag har sagt att det inte finns några argument för paramilitär rättvisa. Ingen här i parlamentet i dag har tolererat eller rättfärdigat detta fasansfulla dåd, men alla har krävt rättvisa. IRA behöver inte fortsätta att existera. Sinn Féin har begärt att IRA skall upphöra med sin väpnade politik. Det bör IRA göra omedelbart. Detta skulle hjälpa till att förhindra att ett dåd som mordet på Robert McCartney upprepades. I detta ögonblick måste man emellertid insistera på att de som kallblodigt mördade Robert McCartney och de som bevittnade mordet skall samarbeta fullt ut med polisen i Nordirland. Likaså finns det ett trängande behov av att moderera det språk som används inom politiken i Nordirland. På senaste tiden har man låtit masken falla, och partier som förespråkar fredliga medel har använt ett provocerande språk som snarare förvärrar än dämpar situationen. Det finns en fras som ofta används inom den nordirländska politiken: ”Vi hoppar alla tillsammans.” Några av dem som tog detta förtroendesprång tidigare belönades inte för sitt mod utan märker nu att de snarare befinner sig i periferin än i händelsernas centrum. Nu står andra vid randen till samma avgrund. De har ett ansvar och en skyldighet att hoppa tillsammans."@sv²¹
