Seanad Public Consultation Committee
Other Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Referendums and Lessons from Other Jurisdictions
Mr. Raymond McCord:
A lot could be done through the Seanad. It is not happening in Belfast. It is about point scoring for political parties, it is not about doing right for victims and the people. I would love to see more people from unionism coming into the Seanad. For me, on a personal level, I would love to come down and address the Seanad with a friend from the nationalist community.
We did this in Derry. We had an integrated school. It is the same with conflict issues and the way forward. I will not exclude all academics but I will exclude most of their ideas.
