Census 2001: Donaldson replies

Rosie Cowan has a piece on the forthcoming census. It seems to be beginning to concentrate minds.

"...because the suspended Stormont assembly requires separate majorities of both unionists and nationalists to pass legislation, the dual consent principle should apply to any vote on a united Ireland."
