Nationalists coming to terms with unionism

CLLR Kieran McCarthy (Letters, May16) accuses me of having a ‘them and us’ attitude towards unionists.

He is absolutely correct. The difference is that I and a small but growing number of nationalists see ‘them’ as neighbours and friends while, like most nationalists, he sees them as enemies or, at best, mere obstacles to a united Ireland.

Sinn Féin likes to shout about ‘equality and ‘parity of esteem’, but seems to forget that this cuts both ways.
