If I had stayed in Belfast, my life there wouldn't have as easy as it was in Scotland. I see the strain on the people who stayed. Always worrying about the safety of their children.

I believe we've spent many years trying to bring about talks which have all the Parties in Northern Ireland involved so that there'd be inclusive talks.

When we went to Belfast we saw some beautiful countryside and coastlines.

A lot of airlines have come and gone.

Any serious airline has to look at a worldwide network.

I've never read anything set in Belfast that doesn't involve the Troubles or something senseless over a flag.

When I was growing up, Belfast City Hall was surrounded by security, and we had no access to it. But now, people come in and out of it all the time. On a nice day, office workers and students sit on the lawn outside and have lunch. It's great to see how Northern Ireland has changed. To be part of that is fantastic.

For investor confidence, it is important that there is certainty about the future of Ireland in E.U.

It's strange coming back to Northern Ireland, but it feels like a home away from home.
