Proceeding contribution from Lord Dubs (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland.


Northern Ireland

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that on what is a good day for Northern Ireland we should not forget the important part played in the process by the noble Lord, Lord Trimble, and the Ulster Unionist Party, and indeed by John Hume, Seamus Mallon and the SDLP? Without their brave contributions throughout the peace process we would not have got to where we are today. Finally, we have established a very good relationship between Britain and the Government of Ireland. Does my noble friend agree that it is absolutely essential that we continue to work at that relationship, which has been a basis not only for peace in Northern Ireland but for good relationships between this country and Dublin?
