“Let there be an end to public statements either in Ireland or abroad about ‘ultimate unification of our country’, the ‘evil or partition’, the ‘six-county area’… Talk will not of itself change things. There is more to the wind of change than hot air.”
—Terence O’Neill, as Northern Ireland Prime Minister, in Newcastle on new era in relations with the Republic of Ireland, 18/10/1963. The Irish Times, 15/1/1965.
