This morning a car bomb exploded close to where I live in Belfast slightly injuring a relative of a police officer.
Thankfully the injuries were not more serious. It is likely that this attack was carried out by dissident republicans. It is anticipated that there will be more attacks like this one.
Our politicians have rightly condemned this crazy act and have said that it will not be tolerated. So what can they do?
1. Agree the budget for policing and justice and get it devolved as quickly as possible
2. End the bickering in public and argue the rights and wrongs inside Parliament Buildings and not in the media
3. Show the dissidents that the Assembly has the support of people from all sides of the community including Republicans
4. Challenge the dissidents to show their plan for a United Ireland or whatever it is they claim to want.
Following the very encouraging visit this week by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton let us show that this island will not accept a few lunatics dragging us back to the past. These groups had nothing but death and destruction to offer then and they have certainly nothing to offer now.
