"Mr President, Mr Ryan reminded us that today we were to remember the innocent victims of terrorism: well might we and well might I, because in my country, Northern Ireland, we have had over three and a half thousand innocent victims of terrorism, most of them as a result of the IRA.
Mr Ryan then went on in the next breath to urge my party to embrace in government the party of the IRA, Sinn Féin. My party had a magnificent election result but on the premise that Sinn Féin had to deliver what any other democratic party would deliver. What party in the world would think it would be fit for government and yet not support the police of the community of whose government they want to be a part? This weekend we had an outrageous illustration of Sinn Féin attacking the arrest and charging of two former members of their organisation with attempted murder. They had attempted to murder a postman in cold blood.
Unless and until we get to the point where there is total and absolute support for the police – and that is only one issue – then we are some distance away from Sinn Féin being fit for government."@en1
