I don’t think there’s a family in the New Lodge, and in any nationalist area, and over there as well, in Tigers bay, that hasn’t been touched by the Troubles. Every family has a story to tell. A lot of heartache. An awful, awful lot of heartache, but at the end of the day, it’s like anything else, you have to live with your grief, you have to live with it, and try to move on. So they need to move on in this country for the next generation coming up or they’re going to have big, big problems. There’s always that glimmer of hope that keeps you going, or you wouldn’t keep going, if you give up on it, if everybody give up on it, you’d go straight back to square one.
