This series of questions has reopened the historical fault lines in Irish politics on the issue of the North. Notwithstanding those fault lines, the Taoiseach did not respond to the point that someone who is supposed to be on the respectable establishment wing of politics in the North, Peter Robinson's party and the Official Unionist Party, put out 40,000 leaflets stoking this crisis up and then panicked when chaos resulted with a damaging impact on business and tried to close it down again. They were responsible for whipping it up in the first place and they should be held accountable for that.
