Further arising from the Taoiseach's replies, what way does he visualise anything on a Sunningdale basis as a means to an end considering it turned out a complete fiasco? Would the Taoiseach not consider at this stage the withdrawal of all co-operation and collaboration between security forces on both sides of the border while Mrs. Thatcher and her Government proceed in the intransigent manner which is creating such havoc among our people, North and South, at present?

My reference to Sunningdale was simply to draw the attention of the House to the solemn declaration made then by the British Government with regard to its attitude of support for a united Ireland achieved by agreement, a statement which I would have thought all Members of this House would welcome. Questions of security do not really arise on this question, but in any event we have no intention of doing anything which is going to diminish security.
