Did anyone watch the interview Pengelly did with BBC, it's ok YouTube. She remembers IRA violence, remembers the outrage at 5 when Thatcher signed the Anglo Irish Agreement.

I would guarantee that there is not another member of the DUP who would know the work of Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin. She's much more cross-culturally aware than any DUP people I know," he says.
