Unsaturated fat is an outrage.

I was born in the island of Ireland. I have Irish traits in me - we don't all have the traits of what came from Scotland, there is the celtic factor... and I am an Irishman because you cannot be an Ulsterman without being an Irishman.

I would never repudiate the fact that I am an Irishman

I would rather be British than just.

Never confuse sitting on your side with being on your side.

The gun is not out of Irish politics.
