Seamus Mallon (20. november 2017). «It was John Hume, not Sinn Féin, who steered Northern Ireland to peace». The Guardian. «Ireland is not a romantic dream; it is not a flag; it is 4.5 million people divided into two powerful traditions. The solution will be found not on the basis of victory for either, but on the basis of agreement and a partnership between both. The real division of Ireland is not a line drawn on the map but in the minds and hearts of its people. – John Hume»
