he called for a unified ireland. later in life his position mellowed and he started coming down on the side of equal treatment for everyone in northern ireland. he was a proponent of the good friday accords. can you give us some idea of how and why his thinking changed? >> well, i would say his thinking evolved as the circumstances evolved. i don't think he ever changed his position. you know, teddy was -- one of the things he was passionate about was the human rights and civil rights anywhere and at the commencement of the troubles in the late '60s it was about total infringements of civil rights to the nationalist catholic republican cause. so it was only the british and, you know, the majority and unionist pop lafgs the north started moving from that position that he evolved with it. and so i think it was an entirely consistent position. he was equally very strongly against unfairness of any kind. he spoke out about various atrocities that are so numerous whenever they happened. and right up until recent times whe

northern ireland today is at peace. more americans have health care, children around the world are going to school and for all those things, we owe a great debt to the life and courage of senator edward kennedy. >> our senior international correspondent nic robertson is joining us. in the area of national affairs, he was very influential, especially in ireland. >> absolutely. that is going to be his legacy here in britain, wolf. we heard from many politicians today a different stripes praising senator kennedy and perhaps the turning point for his emboldment in northern ireland came in 1994 when he persuaded then president bill clinton that he should give a visa that would boost the profile of the then ira political leader and give him a u.s. visa, that was 1994. that led within four years to the 1998 peace process in northern ireland and, really, that's why senator kennedy is captivating people's attention and imagination here and in northern ireland and in 1998 the british prime minister then was tony blair and we hear

>> reporter: hey, heidi, i am at the global cancer summit here in dublin, ireland. it's been an interesting few days, but i couldn't help but think about health care reform back home. you know about five years ago, ireland found itself in the same position in some ways that the united states is in now, trying to reform their health care system. i took advantage of a unique opportunity to sit down with the health minister, what went right, what went wrong. in ireland, everyone has access to health care, via a taxed public plan, but half choose to spend additional money on a private plan. >> why does that happen? so if you have access to the public system, is it not good enough for 50% of the people like you say? >> they do it for choice facility or choice of doctor or choice of accommodation, single rooms in private hospitals, for example. and speedier access in many cases, more routine and procedures can be done much more quickly and if you have access to private health insurance. >> in the public sector, one can wait up to three years for a hip replacement or a cor

whether it's ireland, whether it's iraq. he just was everywhere. and that's why he will go down in history in all probability as the greatest senator in the last 100 years and it's entirely possible that when we look at the history of the kennedys that he will be -- he will be considered for having done more and encompassed more and changed more than either his older brothers, as unlikely as it would have seemed 30 years ago. >> so, who are you paying attention now, the next big kennedy? who picks up the torch from here, laurence? >> well, i think the torch has burned itself down. i'm not sure there is a next kennedy to take over. and i hope that isn't the way as this is seen, that this is seen as a kind of kennedy sink. because i think what was one of the problems with the kennedys, what was one called the young generation, the young generation is now middle-aged and has a sense of entitlement and there's no longer inevitability of kennedys winning election politics. katherine kennedy lost when she was way ahead. mark shriver lost in the primary w
