"Mr President, thank you for the opportunity to say a few words on this truly historic day for Ireland. In July of this year, the IRA called on its units to dump their arms and today we have verification that those words have been translated into action. Yes, there are still many bridges to cross, but today, in my opinion, we have crossed the Rubicon.
There will be difficulties ahead; there are peace breakers on both sides who will try to derail this process. Massive support must therefore be given to peace builders, to ordinary people who on a day-to-day basis begin to build trust and seek out a shared future. We salute all of those, on both sides and none, who helped to bring us to this day. In the European Parliament, I wish to applaud the positive and supportive role of the European Union in this process.
Finally, on this day we remember the victims and their families whose lives have been shattered. For them today comes too late, but for the rest of us it is hopefully a beginning."@en1
