The problem is that the DUP will not accept that. It has ten Members of the House of Commons and they will veto any deal that proposes that. We need to be realistic about this. This would bring down the British Government, if they proceed with this alone. The Minister of State can believe me; the DUP will bring down the British Government on this issue. Let us be quite clear about it. I met them in Sligo and I know their feelings.
