David Cameron addresses Northern Ireland Assembly

David Cameron addresses Northern Ireland Assembly; David Cameron MP (PM) speech continued SOT Given the history of Northern Ireland I don’t for a minute underestimate the scale of the challenge. But it is a depressing fact that since the 2006 St. Andrews Agreement the number of so-called ‘peace walls’ has increased from 37 to 48.

According to one survey the costs of division through the duplication of public services alone is around 1.5 billion pounds a year. But this not just about the economic cost, it’s about the social cost too. It’s these divisions that help to sustain terrorism and other criminal activities particularly within deprived communities. I acknowledge the work that the previous executive began on this through the Cohesion, Sharing and Integration Strategy, and welcome the fact that the new executive is committed to taking it forward. Clearly, more needs to be done. Most of the responsibilities for this, such as community relations, are devolved. We will support you in whatever ways we can. But this is something that’s mainly in your hands. I am clear, though, that we cannot have a future in which everything in Northern Ireland is shared out on sectarian grounds. Northern Ireland needs a genuinely shared future; not a shared out future. If that is your task, let me say something about mine. I take my responsibilities for this part of the United Kingdom seriously, and I will stand by and stand up for you in every way I can. I’ll always stand up for the truth, and be prepared to face up to difficult realities, however uncomfortable that might sometimes be for the UK Government. I knew that dealing with the Saville Report would be one of my most important early responsibilities as Prime Minister. And I did not put it off. Throu...
