Mr. Bertie Ahern:

-----on the constitutional issue is to be sucked into an inevitable united Ireland or new Ireland position. It is up to us to try to convince them that that is not the agenda. There is nothing to stop those who believe that the constitutional change should be that everyone in Northern Ireland should stay as they are or should be even closer to the United Kingdom from bringing forward that thesis. If they want to do so and to argue and to debate their point, nobody is stopping them.
