In the Sinn Féin MLA Declan Kearney's "Reconciliation Speech" in 2012, "reconciliation and trust" were proposed as the next stages of the peace process. The different understandings and uses of the term "reconciliation" in Northern Ireland have resulted in confusion among the communities. It has been acknowledged that reconciliation and the discourse surrounding it is very fluid and indistinct in Northern Ireland. The political understanding of reconciliation has caused distrust of the term and a "theological backlash" with regard to reconciliation in Northern Ireland.

Interviews with those working in interfaith communities have revealed a disassociation with the term by community workers, and a resentment toward funding bodies who appear to be interested only in projects including the words "reconciliation" and "peace". A leader of Corrymeela, David Stevens, has said that the concept of reconciliation has "seemingly lost its meaning" due to the historic failures to bring the two groups together.
