Mr. Niall Murphy:

Absolutely, but a border poll is specifically legislated for. In so far as that is the case, therefore, it is as noble an aspiration to commit towards having as sensitive a conversation as can be held around this issue as that concerning the converse argument, which is to persuade citizens in the North that their best interests might lie within the United Kingdom. I respect that is a conversation which has already commenced, is ongoing and I am happy to engage in and embrace such a discussion. However, I refute the contention that it is divisive to advocate for something which is integral to the Good Friday Agreement.
