Do the DUP have to fly to USA via Dublin?

veryangryman · 2024-01-06 13:51:08

Random thought I had during the silly season... Ye know those DUP types who hold their breath if near Dundalk and wouldn't cross to our side if there was gold itself here... Do they be seen at Dub airport when they need to go somewhere fancy like the US which isn't doable at the 2 redundant Belfast airports? Anyone ever…

with their Irish/EU passports?

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

They’ll be singing “Ooh! Ah! Up The Ra!” in the bar in Terminal 2 next.

Yes they’re regulars-makes no sense to fly all the way to London and cross back again. Dublin had great USA access. Also pre clearance. Seem to remember seeing a pic of Jim Allister a few years ago on his way to America
