I absolutely agree that the gap has to narrowed and that this must come from Northern Ireland. I do not mean to be disrespectful but I just do not see how that gap is going to be narrowed when Northern Ireland has only had a government up and running and functioning for some of the past few years. How are these radical changes in Northern Ireland to be made? These changes would be beneficial whether it stays in the United Kingdom or not. It would be beneficial for everyone there. I just do not see how that gap is going to be narrowed at any stage.
