Colm Brophy (FG), Dublin South-West

Again, I thank the Deputy for his comments in response. It is important to acknowledge the key point that it is not a controversial book. Lost Lives serves as a powerful reminder that we must continue to work towards deeper reconciliation and that all we do is to heal the wounds we can. That is obviously done through the process of acknowledgement of the most painful parts of our history and that we move forward together. Therefore, what the Deputy has outlined in this Topical Issue is important. Lost Lives really reminds us of how crucial it is that we do not forget and that we keep working on the path of peace and deeper reconciliation. I thank him again for raising the issue.
