- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Mr. David Holloway: I will make a brief statement on behalf of Community Dialogue, as part of the Peace Summit Partnership. First, however, I want to strongly echo and reinforce everything Ms Weir said, in particular in reference to the question: where is our bill of rights? It is about implementation, implementation, implementation. In paragraph 2 of the agreement's declaration of...

Fergus O'Dowd: That is very powerful evidence, as was Ms Weir's. If Ms Malone would like to say something she is more than welcome or she can comment later, if she wishes. There is no pressure.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Fergus O'Dowd: I will now go to the members. The order is Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Independents, Alliance, SDLP and so on. If it is in order, I will ask Sinn Féin to nominate their speakers, because that is how we do it here.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Ms Eileen Weir: There is a lot happening and I can only speak for the women's movement at this stage. I am aware this is not about women's issues, but we are better at doing it than most.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Ms Eileen Weir: I know. Due to my work over the years, I have built really good relationships with people in the South. I had a project in Tallaght 21 to 23 years ago and the relationships we built there within Tallaght are as lasting today as they were 21 years ago. We are still in touch with each other. We still know each other’s birthdays and we do things together. When the...

Fergus O'Dowd: We are over time but we can come back in later. I understand Deputy Feighan and Senator Currie are sharing time.

Ms Eileen Weir: It is 7%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Mr. Tim Attwood: If I take the first point regarding middle Ireland, my parents were born and bred in Cork city. I still call it home in some respects. There are not many Attwoods there anymore unfortunately. The conversation needs to be a national conversation about any change on this island. In the so-called rebel county, I am not sure how engaged they are. The family members who...

Emer Currie: Are you ready for me?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Emer Currie: I thank the Cathaoirleach and Deputy Feighan. It is great to hear Ms Weir's wisdom as usual and to see both witnesses in Leinster House. What I am about to say is related to Deputy Feighan's comments. We find that attention seems to always focus on the political issues in the North rather than a consistent focus being on social integration, reconciliation and the disconnect North and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Ms Louise Malone: We had a group of young people were involved in the shared island youth forum. I know that report was launched recently. It looked at things like sustainability, opportunities for young people, diversity and well-being. Whenever we talk to young people and consulting on peace building or reconciliation, those themes emerge all the time: lack of housing in an area where...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Peace Summit Partnership: Discussion (17 Oct 2024)
Mr. David Holloway: I would like to highlight one of the other recurring themes in our dialogue engagements that I did not introduce in the initial presentation summary, namely, the vital role of participative democracy in making any meaningful progress North or South. It concerns the widespread sense of voicelessness and powerless frustration that afflicts our citizens in Northern Ireland...
