"Thank you for your question. My reason for saying that there is now stronger support for Northern Ireland remaining an integral part of the Union is based on all the recent Life and Times Surveys that have been carried out independently in Northern Ireland. These show that more people in Northern Ireland identify with the Union, and more people in Northern Ireland identify as Northern Irish as well. That is an interesting development.
I do not believe that there is any desire or drive for the reunification of Ireland. I do not think this will come – certainly not by 2016 – and it will only be by the support and democratic will of the people. There is no indication that this is the case, and we look forward to being British citizens for a considerable time to come."@en1
