This is superb by @edwardburke.bsky.social on need for reflection down here on reconciliation, & uncomfortable truths re. our past.Taoiseach’s shared island initiative seeks that, but doesn’t seem widely known at societal level.

Also interesting: govts agreed ‘that any joint approach to legacy will require agreement on all key issues, including…ensuring that there are clear reciprocal commitments by both the UK Government and the Government of Ireland’. (meaning Irl plays its part more actively?) @edwardburke.bsky.social

Great to see! Report is a little inaccurate: BIIGC doesn’t meet twice a year- it meets 3/4 times a year now, but isn’t obliged to (didn’t meet at all from 07 to 18). I think reporter is confusing it with BIC? Headline B-I conf a bit vague too! www.bbc.com/news/article...
