Ms. McDonald remarked, "Well now there's a question. I don't think he has the remotest interest in being the President of Ireland... I mean, I think at this stage Gerry is doing a lot of writing, he has his own podcast." She added, "Could I see him in that role? I don't think so... if it is in his mind he certainly hasn't shared it with me yet." This emphasizes her belief that Gerry Adams is focused on his current endeavors rather than pursuing presidential ambitions.
Regarding the Disney+ series Say Nothing, Ms. McDonald stated, "The only account that I have seen of it is that it caused upset amongst people who were depicted in it... the past happened, we can't rewrite it, we can't undo it, we need to be conscious and we need to learn from it." This reflects her perspective on the sensitive nature of the Troubles and the representation of historical events.
Ms. McDonald acknowledged the feelings of those hurt by past events, mentioning, "...we need to be conscious that people who were hurt, they're hurt in the here and now. So I don't know what conversations Disney had with the family, but they weren't very happy with that." This highlights the importance of recognizing the present impact of historical traumas.
