This 'Opening Statement by Mr [Paul] Murphy' announces the launch of discussions in the three strands. Mr Murphy expresses gratitude to the Independent Chairmen and all parties for their commitment to the process. He emphasises the importance of focusing on the future, the commitment to democracy, and the unique nature of these talks with ceasefires in place. The document discusses the three-stranded approach, the Government's role, and the substance of Strand One, including constitutional issues and new arrangements. It addresses justice, rights, confidence issues, and the principle of consent. Mr Murphy concludes by expressing optimism for the negotiations and the opportunity to modernise government structures in Northern Ireland.
