    Will they get him to say 'Ulster says No' as Gaeilge?

    It's too bad the interview was entirely in English, but I have to say it's amazing he even went there.

    Nothing can change the man he was and things he's done, but I am amazed at some of the rational things I've heard out of him, recently.
    But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
    for those that died that Eastertide in the springing of the year.

    As I have stated before, that is what happens when crazy people go senile.

    I highly doubt that Paisley would be able to speak Irish.

    For anyone who is interested he was interviewed on Raidió Fáilte, Irish language radio station aired in Belfast and you can listen live on the internet: Radió Fáilte

    He has realized how bad his legacy will look. He is now doing damage limitation - BIG TIME.

    Paisley with all his warts always had the common touch.....He was honest in his bigotry....He was prepared to stab people in the front not the back.....The upper class bigots in the Unionist establishment (the UUP)always preferred the cloak and dagger approach...It was always on the cards that working class Unionism/Loyalism would have more in common with the Republican /Nationalist tradition......After all the founding fathers of irish republicanism were from the protestant tradition
