Loyalism needn't fear the Irish language. We must contribute "to a shared society, rather than responding to the effects of a divided one."

Brian O'Connor wrote in The Irish Times here:

"That’s not to say nationality is irrelevant to identity, just that people’s ideas of it differ. Admittedly that’s a concept we have a history of struggling with here, mainly because too many people spend too much time insisting the most important thing about them is their own version of Irishness. In real life, the story is always individual."
