Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Mourners at the state funeral of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
have heard him described as a peacemaker. Among those at the | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
requiem mass in Dublin was former Prime Minister John Major with whom | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
he negotiated the Downing Street Declaration in 1993. Our Dublin | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
correspondent Shane Harrison reports. | :00:19. | :00:35. | |
A state law for Albert Reynolds. A requiem mass and a man remembered | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
who contributed so much to the start of the peace process and the end of | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
the violence. The Taoiseach resident and politicians from North and South | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
were there. And so too, a former British by Minister. One person here | :00:54. | :00:59. | |

here. His words were typical. Where else would I be? Albert Reynolds, | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
who famously asked, who is afraid of peace? He was fondly recalled. As | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
was his role in the silencing of guns. Albert thought deeply about | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
violence. He knew that peace is more than the mere absence of war. He | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
also realised that piece cannot take root until the violence stops. That | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
was his central message. It was also a family occasion. Few of us will | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
ever change the course of history. But our collective efforts can make | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
this a better place. How successful he was in his life is for others to | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
judge. To us, it doesn't matter. He was just simply brilliant. The | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
former Taoiseach was buried with military honours in the presence of | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
