"Mr President, I also would like to take the opportunity to thank Parliament for its support for this resolution. I voted in favour of this report on the Irish peace process and I think the overwhelming support it received today is a testament to the international concern and backing for the North to overcome the impasse that has been reached in the progress of the peace process.
As a member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs I was particularly pleased to see explicit reference to the need for further economic and social development in order to consolidate the ongoing peace process. This is especially significant given that the Tory-led government are currently trying to impose harsh and unfair welfare cuts on the North’s poorest citizens, both Unionists and Nationalists. We defend and stand with all working class communities in the North, opposing cuts and the Conservative ethos of cutting benefits such as disability living allowance to those most in need. I would call on all parties in the North to do the same."@en1
