The gun is not out of Irish politics.

I will walk on no grave of Ulster's honoured dead to do a deal with the IRA or the British government.

I have never made an inflammatory statement in my life

I believe that Northern Ireland has come to a time of peace, a time when hate will no longer rule.

I would never repudiate the fact that I am an Irishman

I would rather be British than just.

We're on the verge of civil war in Northern Ireland. Why? Because if you take away the forums of democracy you don't have anything left.
