Description: |
Denis Ireland, figures to be given soon, he gives latest figures, then to Noel Thompson in Kings Hall studio, who interviews John Hume (SDLP) on his reaction to figures, he calls it powerful statement for lasting peace to want to build trust. Gerry Adams (SF) gives his reaction, it's a vote for managed change, he's asked what will he do for a peaceful change, he defends the effort he has made to date. He repeats only armed men on his streets are RUC/British Army, he's asked will IRA say the war is over, but Adams says the onus is on everyone just not the IRA, he cites other things besides decommissioning which would help peace, including the RUC/Army off the streets, end of contentious Orange Marches. D. Trimble (UUP Leader) comes in and says it's time to concentrate on way forward, he gives his reaction to vote figures and claims the majority of Unionist voted yes. Then switch to Pat Bradley's announcement of voting results. Yes vote: 71.12%, No vote: 28.88%, votes cast: 953,583: invalid votes: 1738. Then Trimble asked if this is convincing endorsement of Unionist Community, he says it is, as No vote had Republic No's in it. He says with Republics endorsement he expects violent groups to accept the voice of the people expressed today and disband and decommission. Trimble wants to hear Adams say the war is over and Republican Military machine will disband. Back to Noel Thompson and John Hume and Gerry Adams, Adams replies to Trimble request, people voted for dialogue and inclusiveness, yet Trimble operates apartheid TV studio systems, he says Trimble can't cherry pick the Good Friday Agreement, nor can Tony Blair. John Hume gives his gratitude to Yes voters. He's asked if he will work with Sinn Fein without decommissioning, he rejects question as silly cause of Hume/Adams process. Then in the studio J. Donaldson (UUP, MP) gives his assessment of the voting figures. He accepts the will of the majority he says, he's asked about future behaviour in the Assembly, he says he will be positive but in the Assembly parties linked to paramilitaries can't abuse democratic system. Then from the King's Hall, P. Robinson (DUP) gives his reaction on votes, he says 56% of unonists say no and explains his logic. Robinson gets angry, he's asked will he work the Assembly or wreck it, he says he will further his democratic views using Assembly to frustrate moves to United Ireland. Donaldson asked if he will sit in the Assembly and work cross-border bodies, he only wants accountable cross-border co-operations, Robinson says all-Ireland bodies will be opposed as will terrorists in Government. He rejects question, should Paisley hang up his boots. (3.00pm) | ||
