Conversation, politics and stray insights

“The talks are likely to stretch into September..”

Wed 29 July 2009, 3:43pm

In the Belfast Telegraph, Noel McAdam reports that

Secretary of State Shaun Woodward has invited the political parties to talks next month on how to advance the controversial Eames/ Bradley proposals on dealing with the legacy of the Troubles. The talks are likely to stretch into September as part of wider public consultations on the report by the Consultative Group on the Past.

Good luck with that one, Shaun.. And don’t forget about those “patently inadequate” safeguards, nevermind whether all the groups involved will actually participate.. Although, I haven’t been able to find confirmation of those invites and the quotes, such as they are, appear to come from this Public Service Review article.

    Here’s a useful link to consider with this blog

    Perhaps the unionist politicans can explain why they are happy for soldiers and coppers who murdered innocent people to wander off into the sunset with a taxpayer funded pension.
