And it is good to see someone like Sammy Wilson who I have never met in my life. It is really great to see him today with his clothes on.
Martin McGuinness addressing the Assembly, and Sammy Wilson of the DUP.
The Ku Klux Klan of Northern Ireland outdid themselves on Wednesday night. Under the cover of darkness, they burned nine Catholic churches in a vitriolic outburst of naked bigotry and hatred... Their concerted attack on Catholics, one of the worst examples of sectarian violence witnessed for a long time, would leave even the white terrorists of America's deep south open-mouthed with disbelief.
Pat Brosnan writing in the Examiner. Friday 3 July.
Three hundred and sixty days of the year, this is a Catholic enclave surrounded by the heartland of Ulster Protestantism. They are neglected - irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Anne Cadwallader writing in Ireland On Sunday, 5 July.
The multinational computer pharmaceutical and chemical industries do not, in the main, subscribe to the Irish national consensus and are thriving, but the economy, according to senior industrial sources, is becoming captive to these companies whose mobility is awesome.
Ken Whelan writing in Ireland On Sunday that workers are not receiving their fair share of the so-called Celtic Tiger.
[There seemed to be] a total lack of capability and a complete lack of willingness on the part of the RUC to enforce this decision.
Breandán Mac Cionnaith on the Parades Commission decision. Irish News, Monday 6 July.
We don't want the Orangemen making eye contact with the RUC. It unnerves our lads.
Senior RUC officer. The Examiner, Monday 6 July.
Look at the Japanese and the Germans, they were our enemies. They now own our car industry. Look at the Argentines, they were our enemies in the Falklands. And they beat us in the last kick of the game in the World Cup. I told people that we would get beaten. God has come to the limit of his endurance and raised up our enemies to rule over us. We have turned away from the Bible, with false days of the week, a false year and a false saviour.
Orangemen Robert Brown after the Orangemen were turned away from the crown forces barrier at Drumcree. The Examiner, Monday 6 July.
Those Catholics are scum, they are bred to lie. Protestants can't lie - we haven't been educated that way.
Protestant women at the Drumcree barricades. Irish News Tuesday 7 July.
In the last couple of weeks we've been called dogs, animals, tigers, monsters who should be locked in cages, and that's a reference to every man, women and child that lives in this community.
Garvaghy Road representative Breadán Mac Cionnaith in an interview with the Irish Times. Tuesday 7 July.
