I think there is a huge responsibility upon governments to understand the consequence of their decisions.

War some people glamorise war and glorify war. It's not nice, from whatever point of view you come from.

The last months, weeks and days have seen accelerating discussions, involving the DUP for the first time, about a comprehensive agreement which would see all outstanding matters dealt with and the Good Friday Agreement implemented in full.

It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.

I like to think I'm very grounded. I'm very grounded in my family. I'm very grounded in my community.

The Good Friday Agreement and the basic rights and entitlements of citizens that are enshrined within it must be defended and actively promoted by London and Dublin.

The way forward is by building political support for republican and democratic objectives across Ireland and by winning support for these goals internationally.
