When Ireland is united....

    Will gay marriage and abortion be introduced in the north automatically? Would most non nationalists be happy with that or would there need to be some arrangement for the six counties? I reckon most would be okay with it.

    They will be available in NI long before a United Ireland.

    In the event of unification, in all likelihood the North will remain as it is now, under Irish rule instead of British rule with power sharing, so probably not.

    It will be introduced in the North well before any United Ireland, so it wouldn't be an issue by then

    What does United mean?

    Legally united??


    Or united as one harmonious people?

    If it's a sticking point we can just outlaw them again. There has to be a bit of give and take here._.

    Mandatory abortions I reckon.

    At least that's what I heard at the prayer meeting.

    ROFL, you think the Republic is going to outlaw either of them? They will be legal before it comes about. Secondly, rights should not be given up in such a scenario.

    Only for some though. Miniature American flags for others.

    We're not a devolution state, the only acceptable reunification is a parliamentary democracy of the 32 counties with the seat in Dublin.

    The people of Antrim will have the same electoral franchise as those in Wexford or Kerry and their public representation will be on an equal footing.

    Not a chance of this happening.
    We can't afford it.
    Its ridiculous to even consider it
