I very much welcome the progress made in Cardiff this weekend. We all have a shared responsibility to do all we can to ensure that we have a peaceful summer where all traditions can be celebrated in a way that encourages tolerance and mutual respect.
These talks have shown it is possible to find common ground on which progress can be built.
