Oprindelsen til de uroligheder, der for nylig har fundet sted, ligger dybt i de fundamentale splittelser, der findes i Nordirland, og som man må søge at hele ved at skabe et nyt grundlag for forbindelserne inden for Nordirland, inden for Irland og mellem befolkningerne i Storbritannien og Irland samt og ved at enes om nye institutioner og strukturer, der skal tage sig af alle disse forhold.
The origins of the recent disturbances are deeply rooted in the fundamental divisions which exist within Northern Ireland and which must be addressed by achieving a new beginning for relationships within Northern Ireland, within the island of Ireland and between the peoples of Britain and Ireland and by agreeing new institutions and structures to take account of the totality of relationships.
