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.

You can't build the bridge of trust with the scaffolding of lies and underhand deals

It was amazing that I was ever elected.
