"Thank you, Diane, for that question. I think what is important for all of us who have come from a situation where we are emerging from conflict is to show and demonstrate in a parliament like this that building peace is more important than fighting a war.
We, you and I, could trade statistics of incidents and tragedies, and that, of course, would keep us all looking backwards. There are lots of families, and you have mentioned some here today, who, without doubt, deserve the kind of justice that they are seeking. This week I had three families over here in this Parliament – the brother of Pat Finucane and the daughter of a woman who was murdered by the British state, by British soldiers, and a son whose father had been killed, respectively 42 and 46 years ago. These people are just looking for a basic inquest. They are looking for the Stormont House agreement to be taken forward.
I know the Commissioner is very aware of the work that we have done thus far, and we would hope that he and others would support the kind of conflict resolution that we are involved in."@en1
