Dr. Reid: Substantial progress has been made in implementing the Belfast Agreement. There remain several outstanding issues to be
resolved if the institutions are to flourish as we wish, principally policing reform, decommissioning and the normalisation of
security arrangements. The constructive all-party discussions at Hillsborough on 8 March provided a basis on which I believe that
these issues can be addressed and resolved in the coming months.
