United Ireland Poll - please vote

"no body tells a politician trying to get a factory in Cork moved to Dublin ffs"

Very naive lol! Dangle a cushy Dáil committee seat or better, a Ministerial office, in front of them and see their objections to government decisions melt away .

Some TD's have lost their seats because they supported government decisions on the closure of army barracks - said barrack being the main employer in the home town of said Politician. He was more worried about keeping his Ministerial job.

What ? Are you taking the piss ?

No such claim was made that Ulster would suffer under a UI . NO ONE . In fact, it was claimed that cities like Cork , Limerick and Galway would suffer as Derry and Newry along with Belfast getting Second City Status who be kicked to the end of the que while the South panders to basket cases that are NI cities

For a start, no one seriously wants to go near Ulster to invest

Learn to read and comprehend or jog on. It is of no coincidence that another poster has highlighted your ability to twist what was said .

This is ridiculous . But fair due, you proved that you did not even understand what you said .

This is your original statement

"Why? There'll be jobs for 'our own' coming out their ears. Committee on reconciliation, boards to see the change over. A new board of health, Public works. There'll be plenty of our tax and EU money to go around the cronies. Also I'd imagine the same civil servants will be needed.

Politicans try get business for their areas. Nobody tells a politician trying to get a factory in cork moved to Dublin ffs."

You explain how there will be "jabs" coming out for their ears during recessions ? How can anyone justify 200 plus TDs in a country under 6 million ? Both sides of the border have blotted civil services

Days of getting large chests of EU lolly are over, baby!

The laughable part was the last line.....................as I already pointed out, swing a Ministerial job before a TD, they will soon forget their obligations for their areas when a crunch vote is required (unless, it is advantageous to lose the party whip eg Denis Naughton in 2011)

Respectively, You still haven't a clue ! This was proven in earlier posts and it is beyond doubt now. You genuinely do not really understand or know what you are saying .

People like you who have no experience or knowledge of business, trade, and politics , really should be sitting down and STFU and stop embarrassing yourselves.

You had to resort to blatant distortion to save face in the previous post.

The vast majority of business and industry in this country is in Dublin and the commuter belts of Kildare . IT , pharama etc

Proper business that is ! Cork has Pzifer , Limerick had (past tense) Dell, now have nothing ..........................

All the major industries and banks have GHQ in DUBLIN

THe second last sentence about not having to behave any differently is cute. How on earth did you put Mallow in the same sentence as Belfast and Newry ?

Please stop waffling. People did not realise that this was comedy section . At least actually back up your argument with facts . Your statements are already devoid of any credibility, so bald claims like that do not amount to much

Epic fail in basic historical facts

Partition and the creation of NI arose via the Government of Ireland Ireland 1920, which the South Rejected.

Nothing to do with the Anglo Irish Treaty of December 1921 , which came into effect in December 1922, which went beyond mere Home Rule , which NI got in 1920

Northern Ireland came into existence on 3 May 1921. The Tan War was still going on in the South

Naturally, the Treaty was not going to go back on a status (Existence of NI) that had already being established, especially since the Treaty removed the South out of the UK itself.

The public had enough time to digest the arguments over the merit and demerit of the Treaty when they were called to vote in the spring of 1922. They overwhelmingly supported the Treaty and the TDs who voted for it .

By the summer of 1922, the South were too busy bating the daylights out of each other, in areas that saw little fighting during the Tan War , and you can be damn sure, that barely anyone, not even the TD's during December 1921 - January 1922 talked very much about the North or the continuation of the 1920 partition!!

Remarkable, despite the amount of time that history lessons from Primary to Secondary School is spent on the period of 1916-1940; despite all the books, despite all the documentaries, despite all the archive papers etc , you and maybe like you still can not even get the most basic facts in order ...........
