Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Our nation is still divided. Partition is still a fact. We now have a peaceful and democratic way to work that out and we all should be doing that. However, this issue should be above party politics. This entire Oireachtas should be united in ensuring that an appropriate 1916 quarter is developed. We do not want a commemorative shopping mall. That is the last thing that we want.
