EU as an 'external player' in the game of peace
As I remember it was a USA UK and Irish deal they were the real players..............

In fact, Joe negotiated it himself.

Hopefully someone more clued up than I on this matter can answer that.

Considering it's the EU Commission that proposes the majority of the legislation, which is a collective from member states, it's pretty much nonesense.

The EU embedded the very peace process. The man who chaired the negotiations stated this, Senator George Mitchell.

Joe, retract this in the interest of common decency and all that is Holy.

"I don't think the European Union was essential in the [Good Friday Agreement] talks themselves, but I believe the talks would never have occurred had there not been a European Union."

Is what he said, not the same as what you claim. Can't see why he would have to retract at all.

Would you support a united Ireland??

I am balls deep in the campaign for a unification vote Frank, yes.

I hope our electorate are mindful of the demographic and voting zeitgeist and take our time to establish an agreed future for all of us.

Brexit has been an invaluable lesson as to how to deliver constitutional change.

The EU made the promises, and delivered on them, that facilitated Republican agreement to the GFA.

In a nutshell, the removed many of the triggers for conflict and gave a reason to negotiate with Britain.

That is crucial in my book.
