[@Minime163]

No harm to talk if they can't fully agree they might be able to meet half way. The most important thing in northern Ireland is to get it up and running and preserving the peace wheather northern Ireland desides to stay in the UK or join a United Ireland is entirely up to them remember unionism and nationalism are 2 equally legitimate aspersions but the extremists must be taken out of the aquaision. I usually totally disagree with Jamie Bryson but fair play to him and Joe for at least talking where you have dialogue you have hope.

[@foreignofficeclub5815]

Bryson making an absolute fool of himself as per usual. Loyalism is better than such clowns and self proclaimed voices of their communities.

[@Sean-Ireland]

I grew up in the ''troubles'' from a mixed background mum was protestant dad was Catholic and i had some cousins, uncles who were staunch Republicans on my dads side and had an uncle in the UDR and relatives in the Orange order on my mums side and we always have and always will remain very close as they are all family. I was raised Catholic and Nationalist with a very small n but was brought up to take people at face value and to respect all life. My own kids now have absolutely no interest in green/orange politics and have friends in both communities my eldest son plays football with a team mostly from a Protestant background and some of those guys are his closest friends. Would i like to see a united Ireland? Yes but only if both communities accepted it and my only reason for wanting to see it happen is because Northern Ireland has been kept the most deprived area in the Union with very little investment and for as long as their is a Tory government this will remain the case and no matter what nonsense some say about the South they have a far higher standard of living than we have in the North, i have seen that for myself having worked in the Republic their investment in communities is far higher than what we receive. Peace!!!

[@yankorusev]

Amazing interview. It reminds me of a day circa 2012 when I was walking through the lords session , the debate was on admitting Catholics to the RUC. The Irvine continued when I was asked my then my mentor who was a cross bencher, if I would consider applying for her replacement, a nurse fulfilling a constitutional responsibility. I had to remind her I was an Irish Citizen and I therefore may neither be eligible or welcome at that point. So much irony in one visit!

[@michaelcassidy1864]

it's difficult for me to adequately express my appreciation of two intelligent individuals from both communities sitting down to respectfully discuss the horrid past.

A pity the conversation ended when it did. Absolutely. Positively, no one in my immediate vicinity (Dublin) wants to force, cajole, intimidate any Ulster Scot into a United Ireland. We are only just out of the Catholic Gulag Republic that lasted far, far too long. Can we all just take a breather and concentrate on the unsexy bread and butter issues and leave the “Constitutional” questions to the grandchildren? They are sure to be better at it than us.

[@jakenconor]

No Niall. It was the "can do" and "must do" attitude of activism against constitutional wrongs and inequalities that brought things to the rarefied place where you could even envision leaving the constitutional things to our grandchildren to sort out. We can't stop now. We can't sit on our hands while there is still so much work to be done. Internment hasn't gone away, people are still locked up unfairly. Look into the case of the Craigavon 2. Two innocent men. Look at the state of the PSNI..despite the media and all sides of the government's ignoring of the situation, its still a deeply flawed police service, and burying our heads in the sand is not going to correct it. There is lots of very pressing work to be done.

He is constantly belittled and laughed at in Nationalist circles yet comes across here as very accommodating and reasonable. Joe is correct in that it is business and jobs that people care about because that is what generates prosperity for all. The NI protocol has simply opened up opportunities for NI businessses to work with the South and the rest of the EU in a way that British companies now can't. Because of this advantage there is zero chance of NI leaving the UK anytime soon, why give up that advantage? Similarily we can all identify (and have passports to prove it) as British or Irish or indeed both. Embrace the fact that NI consists of two nations and that the Tricolour is simply as legitimate as the Union Jack. Educate children in the same schools.
