Sad to see the passing of John Hume,a man I personally believe would have been a model for the Irish presidency had he been interested in it.

I guess he would. As he said himself:

Quote
Difference is an accident of birth and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace – respect for diversity.

I agree but unfortunately the poor man lost his facilities.

Shame too, he spent 30 years promoting his ideas when they weren't popular and soon after achieving his dream lost his awareness.
