During the week, Michelle O'Neill, the First Minister of Northern Ireland, said of Northern Ireland, we are not a racist society.

I'm sorry, that is just a joke.

The whole governance of Northern Ireland is based on a sectarian stroke racist foundation.

And even the reaction to this murderous attack was sectarian in its nature.

So I think the fundamental problem in Northern Ireland is it remains deeply sectarian stroke racist and people have got used to over 50 years of bad history to reacting with violence.

Plus there's another issue then which is people feel that even though

At elections, they may not want immigration.

In the 2004 citizenship referendum, 79% of Irish citizens sent a clear signal for less immigration.

Governments are delivering them something else, a completely different policy.

The policy is...

We will allow ever more people in and we will try and dismiss concerns raised by those who question this.

Yes, and in the last census... And most of those people came here legally on work permits and we wanted them to come and work here.

You'd accept that.

That's true.

I accept that.

But the fundamental point is that...

People voted clearly in 2004 against abuse of people being able to come here.

Citizenship referendum.

I think that's correct.

Our population has grown by 50% in the last 25 years.
