I propose to take Questions Nos. 104 and 105 together.
I am aware of the serious concerns which have been expressed in the nationalist community and on the part of human rights organisations about the role of the RUC in the investigation into the murder of Rosemary Nelson.
On my instructions, the Department of Foreign Affairs has had extensive discussions with the British side within the framework of the Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Conference about the conduct of the investigation into Rosemary Nelson's murder. The Government's view that the investigation must be independent and fully transparent has been conveyed to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
