We're the community most affected, and this is a Band-Aid solution. Where's the long-term solutions to stop the drugs and gangs coming into our community?

I have made it quite clear that a unified Ireland was one solution that is out. A second solution was a confederation of two states. That is out. A third solution was joint authority. That is out-that is a derogation of sovereignty.

The actual solution to this case is still in the community. It's still out there. Someone still has the info we need to resolve what's taken place.

The international community has been working with Libya to find an overall solution. As we have made clear before, we believe a way should be found to allow the medics to return to their home.

We would all like to see a solution to this because it does cause consternation within the community.

I am confident that there will be a solution that will please both the city and the merchant community that is the good news. I think we are close enough and aren't far enough apart that with a little bit of tweaking and a little bit of give and take on each side we can come up with something that makes sense.
