While we’ll never ever really know if the cost hosting of the G8 will ever pay back Northern Ireland in real financial dividend: there was perhaps another type of opportunity missed. That was the opportunity for those Ulster Unionists and Irish Nationalists who distrust the policies of the world’s leaders to get together to say so. Instead the public protest was dominated by those with anti-Northern Ireland, as part of the United Kingdom, agendas. We had a rare opportunity to agree on something and we missed it.
