Ian Paisley Northern Quotations

Take it from me that your condemnation and further exhortation to the leaders of IRA/Sinn Fein is useless in the present drastic and tragic circumstances of Northern Ireland. When are you going to take action?

Bertie Ahern, your writ does not run here in loyal Ulster. Any man that talks to Sinn Fein or the Dublin government about the internal affairs of Northern Ireland is a traitor.

A foreign government has more say over Northern Ireland than the people of Northern Ireland.

It is nothing short of deception and lies to portray this deal as strengthening the union (between Northern Ireland and Britain), ... complete and total sellout of our province.

Do they think that the people of Northern Ireland are fools?

There was no agreement between us, there is a great gulf because the southern government still thinks the IRA should be there and by right should be taking part in these discussions and by right should be in any future government of Northern Ireland.

I believe that Northern Ireland has come to a time of peace, a time when hate will no longer rule.

It was amazing that I was ever elected.
