TD welcomes developments
Sinn Féin TD Caoimhghín O Caoláin has welcomed this week's political developments which he said have revived hopes that the Good Friday Agreement can and will be fully implemented. He said:
``The statements from Senator George Mitchell and General de Chastelain have set the scene for the pro-Agreement parties and the two governments to move forward together to put in place the political institutions for which people voted overwhelmingly last year.
``I welcome the statement from David Trimble and fully endorse the statement by Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams. Republicans are clearly making strenuous and arduous efforts to ensure that this review is rewarded with success and that the Good Friday Agreement is put into effect. These developments mark significant progress towards a new political dispensation and a new relationship between the diverse communities who share this island.
``All these developments are taking place within the framework of the Good Friday Agreement. Sinn Féin will accept nothing less than its full implementation. The past year-and-a-half has demonstrated that renegotiation of the Agreement is not an option and that implementation cannot occur outside the terms laid down on Good Friday.
``The positive conclusion to the long-drawn-out review process will be greeted with a sigh of relief by people throughout the country.''
