Alliance Spokesperson on Europe, Alderman Sean Neeson, has welcomed the Secretary of State's visit to the European Parliament, and urged his colleagues in Liberal Parties across Europe to respond positively to Mo Mowlam's statement in the European Parliament this afternoon.

Alderman Neeson said:

"The Secretary of State is to be commended for this initiative. Anyone with any influence on those in the European Parliament must seek to ensure that Northern Ireland is not forgotten in the years ahead.

"There will be many dividends if we establish a peaceful future - but our social and economic problems will not disappear overnight.

"I have asked the Alliance Party's colleagues in the Liberal Group in the Parliament to do all they can to keep Northern Ireland near the top of the European Union's funding agenda."
