“For the majority of the population which is unionist, it will be a milestone of enormous significance.
A state, pragmatically carved out of an island at a time of immense European upheaval and against the wishes of a significant minority of the new Northern Ireland’s inhabitants, will have survived for 100 years.”
In other words, 100 years of imposed British sovereignty over the minority of the population which is Irish, denying them their right to national freedom.

The right to freedom does not belong exclusively to the majority of the population which is unionist.
Equal freedom for two equally legitimate peoples.
Nothing less and nothing more.
