Other Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Unionist Community
Mr. Derek Moore:
I was struck by something Andy Pollak said. Like everyone else, I was very impressed by his presentation but there was one thing that he did not say. He said that unionism could cause a major problem within a reunified Ireland but one of the biggest problems for me is that the extremist nationalism that has tried to destroy Northern Ireland for the last 100 years would not sit comfortably in this country either without the changing of symbolism and so on. It might not just be a problem within unionism. Some of the people who have tried really hard to destroy Northern Ireland would not sit comfortably and would cause major disruption to the people in this country who are living peacefully now.
