Text
I do not know where that part of your speech came from, but it is interesting that the DUP has caught up now. In 1998, the DUP did not agree with any of what you have just said. Your party did not vote for it. You campaigned against peace. You did not want to see an agreement. It is good to see that you have caught up.
