Theresa Villiers said:
I’m sure all of us here in Northern Ireland wish the parties well in the final hours of the Haass process.
I hope all sides will be able to show flexibility to make an agreement possible on these divisive issues.
From my many conversations on this over recent days, I am encouraged about the prospects for agreement, although some key issues are yet to be resolved, particularly on the past.
