I am asking Dr. Burke a different question. Does he accept that a solemn declaration given to the people of this State brought about a swing from two thirds to one third? It went the other way around. It swung a third of the population who voted to go in a different direction after they accepted it. Does Dr. Burke believe that it was a solemn declaration to the Irish people living within this State, and that they took it as a solemn declaration?
