Episodes like Columbia, Castlereagh, on which I have an open mind, and Stormont, on which I have a less open mind, should not have happened. Nobody is looking for disbandment in real terms. Nobody is looking to denigrate people or to force them to do things that would make them look defeated. What the Unionist people badly need is to know that the war is over and that it will not be renewed. The challenge facing republicanism, which has proved itself to be very good at politics, the use of words and the formulation of phrases, is to find a way of showing that and expressing it practically on the ground. That would convince the Unionist community that the war is over and that they, as a political party, are committed to purely democratic and normal means of politics.
