Mr. Gerry Adams:

Well I think the point Mr. Brady makes is a point well made. The issue of ending the union is not a project. What is to prevent co-operation between all of the parties who have a position in favour of a project to find ways of advancing it? Maybe a wee bit of reconciliation between Fine Gael, Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil and Labour and so on. I am just looking in that direction and not inviting anyone to come back in. There is clearly a huge responsibility on governments and on our own Government and the Tánaiste, soon to be the Taoiseach arís, did make a ground-breaking statement and I will paraphrase it so I might not have it perfect, where he said never again would Northern nationalists, and I do not actually like the term Northern nationalists, but never again would nationalists in the North be left behind by an Irish Government. He will be Taoiseach, I think, on the 17th.
