country and the birth of northern ireland exactly 100 years ago thousands of civilian lives were lost in the interim isn't conflict that followed mary mcaleese is calling on protestants not to mark monday's sent tina ri with triumphalism language that is used is so important to be to use language that that doesn't other the people that you share the island with or your share northern ireland with but language that shows that you're sensitive to their concerns one word the right way can you know it can open people up and it can make them consult them hearts where as one word the wrong way and you can harden hearts some are using the word celebration that is a difficult word and so for very far most of the centenary is that we have been through we haven't used those words we've used the word commemoration we've used softer words we've used words that open up to inclusion and that understand that
