    Here’s a more recent observation from Seamus in the Crawley interview:

    “I would say to them stop putting your fingers into other peoples’ eyes every chance you get – you don’t have to win every little petty argument. .. I suggest that we should start to live and think of ourselves as good ancestors. Ancestors who will leave to our generations to come something worthwhile – not a niggling little place like Stormont is now.”
