House of Lords written question – answered at on 28 January 2002.
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What level of consultation and co-operation they have sought from the Government of the Republic of Ireland in seeking a solution to the Drumcree issue.
The issue of parades in Northern Ireland is a matter for this Government and the people of Northern Ireland. Any solution to Drumcree can only be found through genuine dialogue between the parties involved. The Government have, and are, ready to facilitate any genuine attempt to find an agreed solution to this issue.
We have not consulted with, or sought formal co-operation from the Government of the Republic of Ireland, but that government have been supportive of initiatives, whether led by this Government or independent of it, in an attempt to resolve the Drumcree issue.
