Mr. Tim O'Connor:

I suppose it is if the cap fits. We have to find ways. What is really important, if we are wise, is that we must create the structures. It is back to Senator Ó Donnghaile's point about the institutions. It is very important to find the structures to be able to bring people together to have those conversations as well. When people have lived apart, crossing the divide is very difficult. Most people will not do it. That is why convening is a very important thing. Senator McGreehan talked about being a secondary school student listening to and watching everything happening, but it had a big influence on her.

This generation has to find ways to act now. One can say that is politics, and that is true. However, in addition to representative politics, and only a very small number of this generation make it through to the high offices the members of the committee hold, we must have a wider range of people involved in the discourse. I am the optimist and see the glass half full. I think enough people care about this place. At the end of the day, we know it is going to be about finding a way to share it. That is why I believe that victory on one side or the other is not going to be the future for us. We have to find a way. Part of the answer to the Senator's question is that we are going to have to find more ways of giving people the chance to come together to be able to talk about it. Just intervene and create the structure. Leaving it to be organic is probably not going to cut it.
