The Taoiseach mentioned that there are issues that have not been engaged with and that is the case. To be honest, and it is important to be honest, without structured conversations on unity we kind of are ignoring the elephant in the room.

It is contained within the Good Friday Agreement and it is something that has not been realised from the agreement.

We need to move forward on a basis of honesty. For example, I am very honest that I want to see a united Ireland. When we are talking about different aspects, whether reconciliation or anything else, all of it can be done in a structured way through the Government, and the Government could play a huge role in this. The Taoiseach may disagree on that wider point. Given the basis of this, we need to look at what we agree on.
