Engagement with the Taoiseach

What has politicised me is my view in terms of a united Ireland. When I talk to people about this I like to talk about the things that we agree with. I think the things that we agree on, in respect of the Taoiseach's response, is the concept of unity. For me, this is about a unity referendum. It is about having everybody involved in the conversation and that means people of all different types of views. What I always say is that no matter who you talk to, if you are talking a look at what Ireland will look like in the future, every single person is going to have a different point of view. I always make the point that Louis O'Hara and I are both Sinn Féin Deputies from Galway but I am sure we have different perspectives in terms of our view of the future if you look at everything in detail. That is why I strongly feel that we need to have structured conversations that are led by the Irish Government.
