I listened with interest to my colleague, Senator Ó Donnghaile, speak about the work of the Reverend Harold Good. I took great interest in what James Nesbitt said about a union of Ireland, namely, that he would embrace it as long as lives of the people North and South, and between the two islands, improved. We are moving into a different space now in that we are privileged to talk about issues without fear of contradiction on occasion.

I thank our GAA boss, Mickey Harte, who apologised if anybody was offended by the unacceptable behaviour of some of the Tyrone team who sang rebel songs in front of a band passing the team bus. That is leadership from somebody who is able to stand up and apologise but we need more.
