I propose to take Questions Nos. 41 and 59 together.
The Irish and British Governments have indicated in the Framework Document that we wish to see a comprehensive and inclusive talks process begin as soon as possible.
We have asked the Northern Ireland parties to study the document carefully and to let us have their considered views on it.
We believe that the approach proposed in the document offers enormous potential for the achievement of a new and lasting political accommodation between Nationalism and Unionism. We hope that others will recognise this and will accept it as a basis for future discussion. Both Governments have made clear, however, that we will welcome all other proposals from any quarter designed to meet the same ends.
The Taoiseach and I have made clear our availability for immediate discussions with the parties, separately or collectively, on the way forward, whether as proposed in the Framework Document or otherwise.
