Quotes for a border poll

"A border poll is going to happen at some point. Among my friends, who are all boys who are Protestants - well, men, we`re all 54 - they would really consider now what the notion of a new union of Ireland might look like, and I think there's a lot of people that think that."

"To me it simply doesn't make sense to have two national football teams on an island this size never mind two health systems, two education systems and two governments. As an Irish citizen, I want the island of Ireland to be reunified under a government for all our people."
