| Title: Albert Reynolds |
| Albert Reynolds was a doer and implementer, who as Taoiseach saw through to near completion the Haughey revolution in Northern policy, EU re-alignment and economic re-development, issues seen by their creator as a single, inseparable whole.

| Theresa Villiers, who exercises the powers of the State in Belfast, wants to change the system of devolved local institutions over which she presides. She wants to "evolve" that system into a Government/Opposition system. She quotes Edmund Burke irrelevantly. He said: "A state without the means of change is without means of preservation".
