“…the aim of commemoration should be to broaden sympathies without having to abandon loyalties and, in particular, to recognise the value of ideals and sacrifices, including their cost… it is important not to forget the bloodshed and deep antagonisms of these years… while few eyewitnesses survive, the memories remain vivid in some communities and families and commemoration may revive painful memories of loss or dispossession… we should also be conscious that on this island we have a common history but not a common memory of these shaping events… Commemoration should not ignore differences or divisions. The goal of inclusiveness is best achieved, not by trying for enforced common interest or universal participation, but by encouraging multiple and plural commemorations which remember the past while ensuring, as far as possible, that the commemoration does not re-ignite old tensions.”
