Well Ken, well Ken - you know you're going to have to talk to me one day!
Martin McGuinness to the UUP's Ken Maginnis in the Stormont car park after all parties agreed a talks agenda.
I don't talk to murderers.
Ken replying via a security guard.
It comes [British attitudes to the Irish] from a society still bewithed by the medieval absurdity of monarchy, not only ironic, but crass... ; in Eastenders there is a typical British assumption that Ireland should be treated like a provincial region of Britain. You know, the natives should subscribe to an imperial London notion of hierarchy and worth. How such misconceptions are made and maintained could make a lively discussion programme because British ignorance about Ireland is monstrous.
Irish Times TV reviewer Eddie Holt on the recent Eastenders controversy, Saturday 27 September.
Hanging over the ceremony was the unresolved issue of whether the bombings were the work of loyalists on their own or if there was British Intelligence services or RUC involvement.
Report on the unveiling of a new memorial to the victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974. Irish Times, Saturday 27 September.
Can I just begin by apologising for keeping you waiting for so long?
Mo Mowlam at a press conference after the talks agenda was agreed. Irish Times, Saturday 27 September.
Waiting for so long! It's only been 16 months.
Derek Hendereson of the Press Association in reply to Mowlam.
It's been 800 years!
Journalist Eamon Mallie in reply to Henderson.
A display of the most base fascist tendencies of unionism.
Sinn Féin's Mitchel McLaughlin on the Paisley and McCartney rally. Irish News, Wednesday 1 October.
Mr Paisley has featured in many confrontational scenes in Ulster's latter-day history. He has used his undisputed oratory to stir up the loyalist population. He is reminiscent of the Grand Old Duke of York and we all know how he managed his troops. Speaking from experience, I can honestly say that many young men are languishing in Ulster's prisons and a good percentage of those have confessed that people like Mr Paisley helped put them where they are today.
Former loyalist activist Sammy Duddy on Ian Paisley. Irish News, Wednesday 1 October.
