Here's a simple explanation
The Irishman's Guide to Understanding Ireland

---

Ireland is an island to the west of Britain but Northern Ireland is just off the mainland - not the Irish mainland, the British mainland.

The capital of Ireland is Dublin . It has a population of a million people, all of whom will be shopping in Newry this afternoon. They travel to Newry because it is in the North, which is not part of Ireland , but still pay in Euros.

Under the Irish constitution, the North used to be in Ireland , but a successful 30-year campaign of violence for Irish unity ensured that it is now definitely in the UK . Had the campaign lasted longer the North might now be in France .

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland It has a population of half a million, half of whom have houses in Donegal. Donegal is in the north but not in the North. It is in the South. No, not the south, the South.

There are two parliaments in Ireland The Dublin parliament is called the Dáil, (pronounced "Doyle"), an Irish word meaning a place where banks receive taxpayers' money.The one in Belfast is called Stormont, an Anglo-Saxon word meaning placebo, or deliberately ineffective drug.

Their respective jurisdictions are defined by the border, an imaginary line on the map to show fuel launderers where to dump chemical waste.

Protestants are in favour of the border, which generates millions of pounds in smuggling for Catholics, who are opposed to it.

Travel between the two states is complicated because Ireland is the only country in the world with two M1 motorways. The one in the North goes west to avoid the south and the one in the South goes north to avoid the price of drink.

We have two types of democracy in Ireland . Dublin democracy works by holding a referendum and then allowing the government to judge the result. If the government thinks the result is wrong, the referendum is held again. Twice in recent years the government decided the people's choice was wrong and ordered a new referendum.

Belfast democracy works differently. It has a parliament with no opposition, so the government is always right. This system generates envy in many world capitals, especially Dublin

Ireland has three economies - northern, southern and black. Only the black economy is in the black. The other two are in the red.

All versions of the IRA claim to be the real IRA but only one of them is the Real IRA. The North's biggest industry is the production of IRAs. Consequently, we now have the Provisional, Continuity and Real IRA. The Real IRA is by far the most popular among young graffiti writers simply because it is the easiest to spell

Hopefully more than a few of them fall into the bonfire.

One thing that always puzzles me is where do they get the flags that they're going to burn? Do they go to a shop and say 'I'll have a dozen tricolours please? And if those tricolours were made in the Republic wouldn't they then be supporting the Irish state? Or do they make them themselves? Or maybe the tricolours are made in Taiwan?

Lots of places up the Shankill to buy all kinds of flags but I suspect the tri-colour would be an under the counter purchase - made in China of course;)

Re the flags last year there was an issue where a number of Polish flags were burnt I thought they only hated us?

Dem Polish want everything.They even wanted to be hated , everything we have they want.

"The Orange Order are said to be delighted at the return of this treasured painting to a Lodge in North Belfast. The famous piece, thought lost forever, depicts William of Orange rounding up firewood in Rathcoole before leaving for the Battle of the Boyne, where he defeated over 2000 catholic wooden shipping pallets loyal to the Vatican. Protestants still mark this event to the day."
