• I told [ David Lange] he was crazy, because you can't have an alliance relationship if you refuse access to their ships.

• Many of our ally states don't have these constitutional protections - in the UK, in New Zealand, in Australia.

• Membership in the European Community, now the European Union, has enabled Ireland to re-find its sense of participation - cultural, political, social - at the European level. I think that also opens up possibilities for Ireland as a European country to look outward - to look particularly, for example, at countries to which a lot of Irish people emigrated, to our links - our human links - with the United States, with Canada, with Australia, with New Zealand. And to look also, because of our history, at our links to the developing countries.

• The one thing that has changed dramatically when you talk to the people of New Zealand and people from Ireland?
