Statement by David Ford, then leader of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland (APNI), at the Talks in St Andrews, Scotland, (13 October 2006)

 

"The process has been challenging so far, and will be challenging over the next few weeks for all the parties.

But with these challenges come opportunities. If we use these opportunities, today will prove to have been a major step forward on the road to restoring the institutions.

We now face not a leap into the unknown, but a series of steps. We will play our part in the Preparation for Government Committee and elsewhere to widen the sense of agreement.

Despite all that remains to be done, there is now at least a sense of hope for a shared future."
