194. Máirtín Ó Muilleoir: Belfast Booster, Civic Leader

Q: So, how difficult is it for you to stay centered in terms of not going too far into getting involved or whatever?
The center cannot hold, so, you know, everybody got involved. I mean, and I could have been other ways. I could be other ways. You introduce an army, like an army, with their Sarsen tanks and their armored whippets and their machine guns and their encampments.
