  Bairbre de Brún (GUE/NGL). – (GA) Mr President, the report from the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland was published last week, a report which confirmed the collusion between the police force there and a unionist paramilitary murder squad. This report is only the beginning. It is clear, when one looks at the seniority of those involved within the police force and to whom reference was made in this report, that collusion was a political and administrative practice which was present at all levels of that police force -the RUC- and in the British Government. The big question now is what will be done with this report and what action will be taken. Despite that, Sinn Féin took a historic decision to support the new Police Service. There is now a remarkable opportunity to further advance the Peace Process in Ireland. I would ask Ian Paisley's DUP party, and especially their MEP Jim Allister, to work with Sinn Féin and to work with me to ensure this advance in the Peace Process in Ireland.
