He said calling Ireland "this country", "this nation", "the Republic", "the South" or "this country of four million people" were all wrong and "offensive" because they infer separation between north and south and forget about "the other six counties" and "those here who continue to asset our national identity". He asked southern politicians to only talk of the (Irish) State or the 26 counties

"Very often they (TDs and senators) use language carelessly. They describe the 26 counties as Ireland, as if the six counties of the north did not constitute Ireland....Even in the EU, I hear people talk about Ireland and Northern Ireland. Sometimes they talk about the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland...in an incredulous manner - as if the border does not exist
