In a speech to the DCU Brexit Institute, she said it was like giving children a toy catalogue on Christmas eve just as all the shop are closing down and joked the title of her speech was "Haven't a clue" as it is about Brexit.
Mrs McAleese said there is no predicting the outcome, but she still believed British Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal is the best hope for an orderly departure. She said Brexit is an immensely disruptive decision that will cast a long shadow and Ireland will be particularly impacted. She also bemoaned the fact that new relationships of ease and respect built between Ireland and UK over the years as we sat around EU table at many levels are in danger and the absence of that in future will be an irreplaceable loss.
Mrs McAleese said Brexit is a lesson in how not to go about radical constitutional change and warned that when a future unity referendum arises in Ireland, there is a duty to prepare the ground in advance and delve into all the issues that might arise such as flags, emblems, anthems and economics.She said an army of scholars lawyers intellectuals and people of good will be needed to approach that issue in a respectful way.
No, it is the illegal obstruction of Brexit that is causing the problems. This is what happens when you throw a wrench into the workings of democracy.
From a person I admired as a kid to the absolute gobsh*te she made of herself last year🙈 Her opinion means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING here🙌🏻
