United Ireland

stewie01

Its pretty much inevitable that in the near future Ireland will be restored back to a united island. My question is when?

predictions welcome

The unionists right's to live under british rule must be respected besides we can't afford to take on the North.Let Britain keep it.:D

Sometime around the 12th of never I reckon.

Are you mad? Them shinners won't let it happen...look what it'd to to the border area fuel enterprises that make them and their mates so much income...

Love to see it personally, but the costs of taking the place on are unmanagable and the cops can't even deal with our own scumbags down here let alone a load of rabid loyalists...

The British government would drop the north in the morning if they could figure out a way to do it with out losing face. It's costing them a fortune in money and time to stay there . Most of the north sea oil has gone into propping up the north . In 25/30 years the republicans will be in the majority and then the north will vote to return to the south and any other wishfull thinking is rubbish

The 'unionists' are not the only factor in the equation.

Maybe if you put that aggression into our struggle for freedom we'd have our 32 counties already.

Just sayin', lads.

It's not aggression, it's exasperation. Exasperation at having to see a "United Ireland" thread every two weeks in AH.

I come here to laugh my ugly bollox off at the comedy AH provides (and occasionally to ask questions, which annoys the mods:pac:) not to discuss a complex issue such as this.

Why can't people go bump one of the other threads with their marvellous insight into such a complex issue?

I think we should give them the rest of Ulster, then have an immediate border poll to see what the "men and women of Ulster want". We would have a UI handily enough then.

retalivity

highly unlikely it will happen, and if it does it will be 2100 or after. the north's the north....too much hassle and ****e there, theyre welcome to continue on or have their own country.

Theres more chance of us becoming a federal subject in a europe-wide superstate before anything happens w.r.t reunification.

edit. and if donegal is going to go anywhere, its gonna go out on its own!

The Catholic population of the north is increasing steadily (or it was unless they've stopped riding without johnnys) while the Unionist population is not increasing to the same level. So when there's more Catholics they'll want to be in our gang instead of King Charles gang.

I don't think that's true though. There is more to politics then religion. Any Catholics who are smart know that they'll get a much better deal from London then Dublin.
Maybe 20+ years ago when they were treated as second class citizens it was different but not anymore.

Do you speak for the entire country now?

I would love to see it, but it won't happen because the people are happy with the way things are, as long as they get to vote democratically and are of equal standing as each other, I doubt they will want to change it.

Things are a lot different now, thanks to the peacemakers and withdrawal of British intimidation.

Are we not all starting to fall more or less under the same political umbrella these days anyway, what with the EU? Its quite likely that even if Republican sentiment does gain the upper hand in the north, and lets face it, thats a real possibility, it may very well be academic by the time it happens. A bit like Roscommon being annexed by Galway.

I don't want another of this threads either, but if somebody did that it would probably be met with posts about Zombie threads and be locked a few minutes later.

FWIW I think we are becoming more united little by little. If Catholics do continue to grow in the North and if God forbid, Sinn Fein grew in popularity down here, it might happen in the next 50 years.
