The group is co-chaired by Denis Bradley, the first vice-chairman of the Northern Ireland Policing Board, and Lord Robin Eames, the former Archbishop of Armagh. The group is working towards making recommendations, by summer 2008, to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, on steps that might be taken to support Northern Ireland society in building a shared future that is not overshadowed by the events of the past.
