The decision to leave the Executive was made by a party, 25% of which is made up of members of the Orange Order – basically, a sectarian organisation. If we had a similar input into our political fora in the Republic, for example, if the Catholic Church had 200 members on a council with Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Labour Party or the Progressive Democrats, we would never hear the end of it. In the last six months the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party has made gratuitous and offensive remarks about this State – most recently in Chicago. We have a justifiable and inalienable right to exist as a nation; we are a mother country, yet a Unionist leader who says he wishes to reach out resorts to these remarks despite his claims that he was quoted out of context. Any reading of what he said, as reported, indicates there is still a deep-seated sectarian attitude within unionism in Northern Ireland. The Taoiseach made a point that most Unionists support power-sharing, but I am sorry to have to say this, that, I respectfully suggest, flies in the face of recent surveys which depressingly show that a majority of Protestant opinion in the North does not wish to share power with its Catholic neighbours. That is the level at which we are operating.
