12:25 pm
mary mcaleese is unlike any other former irish president she grew up in northern ireland a catholic living in a protestant area in the fall of seventy's a family forced to move out sectarian conflict group. the irish war of independence from britain between 1919 to 921 had led to the partitioning of the 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

a concert and 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 2 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 there are some for whom this was a tragedy and not a when some feel it's ironic that the santini comes at a time when irish unity is edging back onto the agenda helped by breck's at the puts an e.u. trade border in the irish sea separating the u.k. mainland from the island protestants fear alienation the government here in dublin sees ari's unity as a distant prospect officially at least could it happen sooner rather than later well there's a growing body of opinion that it could do you will never solve the problems of northern ireland by violence the good friday peace agreement recognise something
