A step forward "Archbishop Neill's response to the decommissioning report


The Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd Dr John Neill, made the following statement in response to the release of the decommissioning report of the International Commission on Decommissioning…


“Today’s news hopefully marks a step forward towards peace-building on this island. Now there must be established a culture that both rejects violence and also refuses to glorify it in any manner. This is a pre-requisite for the healing of bitter memories. Such healing lays the foundation for the confidence and trust without which there cannot be lasting peace.

The news in relation to Republican weapons places a renewed responsibility upon Loyalists to reject violence.�
