I don't hate Peter Robinson, and I don't think Peter Robinson hates me.

I am very proud I was part of the IRA in Derry and involved in repelling the designs of the British state forces against people who were being treated as second- and third-class citizens.

Our ability to make a decision about the declaration is hampered by the British government being reluctant to give us the clarification which we require.

I think people see me as someone very much associated with political agreement and, probably more than anything else, being able to build a relationship with loyalist leaders Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson.

I don't cheer when people lose their lives.

There are some discussions taking place in the United Arab Emirates about the prospects of a long-haul flight into Belfast.

It is amazing that you now have a bus company in Ballymena producing world class buses for Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Las Vegas.

The position is clear - there is no ambiguity in Sinn Fein's position. We, along with all the other parties, have signed up to a reduced rate of corporation tax of 12.5 % by 2018.

That's healthy and good for us that there are people who are prepared to question what we are doing.

The last thing we want to see, given the success of the peace process, is the return of installations along the Irish border.

I don't think the majority of people - to be quite honest - care. I think they see me as someone who was at one stage of my life in the IRA, but they see me in the round, as someone who was able to make peace.

I have passed, I hope, many tests over the course of the last 20-odd years in relation to the peace process and intend to continue to work forward in a very sensible and reasoned way with political colleagues in the Executive.
