Such is the peace dividend for the North, and we should never let anyone forget it.

we all know from experience how good it feels to hold onto an angry grudge... is it possible that letting go of it feels even better?
Blessed are the peacemakers!
Its just a matter of time now before an agreement will be made regarding the 32 counties being united--obviously after several referendums and squabbles but nevertheless unity is on the horizon be it 10 yrs or 20 yrs --it matters not !! The hand of friendship has been grasped by both sides and The Giant Leap of Faith as described by Gerry Adams has been taken. Its up to the people now.
Tell the GAA to have a thorough search of their deeds - Robinson has probably managed to buy the odd acre off the pitch for a fiver (£5) - the like has happened before.
As an Irish woman, this pleases me!
Hope Peadar Mhic Robin/Peter Robinson, (an Cead Aire/First Minister na Tuairscirt Eireann/Northern Ireland was cheering for Martin's home county - An Doire/Derry. Before ya know it, Martin will be having tea and crumpets after playing criocket with Mrs. Windsor herself (ooops, pardon the commoner garden indiscretion. I meant of course: Her scintillatingly brilliant, positively divine and levitating Royal Brittanic, Majesty Elizabatus Secundus Reginus (EIIR). Still, ya can't fault the Freemasons for stage managing an impresive peace process, ca ya? Fair play to 'em!
Daithi you say -------Is this the same Peter Robinson that once mumbled 'A good Taig, is a dead Taig.'-----and Martin McGuinness at one time would have put a bullet through his brain.....I guess theyre even now right?....this above is a positive move. Time for Peace
Peter Robinson has brought a ray of sunshine in a world that hasn't seen "light" for some time. The peace in Northern Ireland is nothing short of a miracle. Best to you, Mr. Robinson, Martin McGuiness and those who kept the faith. I've learned a bit about forgiveness via your acts.
Daithi, sure would like a source for the Taig quote. Peter Robinson has moved the DUP closer to reality than any other Northern Ireland leader. Last year Robinson said that the DUP needed to begin reaching out and recruiting Catholics into the DUP. Martin McGuinness is slated to visit Windsor Park for a Northern Ireland football match. Presumably Robinson will play host. We should keep in mind that the DUP and Sinn Fein are political partners in ruling Northern Ireland.
Are you kidding me? Is this the same Peter Robinson that once mumbled 'A good Taig, is a dead Taig.' Watch out for ' A wolf in sheeps clothing.' As for the McGuinness quote, this lad has changed sides so many times it makes your head spin, I can't believe anything he spews out. It always has a stench of manure.
Mrs Robinson's lover wasn't a "young nationalist". V
Good for him. Just hope the rest of his ilk show the same intent. Mind you, given his wife's hunger for young Nationalists, he was probably more interested in looking in the changing rooms....
"When Robinson came to power there were many questions as to whether he would extend the hand of friendship as his predecessor Ian Paisley DID" IS THIS A TRUE STATMENT?
