    After spending 800 years getting away from these loons and reducing reducing our dependence on them you really think the Irish people are going to go rushing hack?
    Why not, it didn't even take 100 years to for the Irish to jump from their British masters to the German/French masters.

    Maybe one day the Irish will be strong enough to stand on their own.

    In the world we live in economies and trade is all soninterlinked- you don’t “stand on your own” ala Dev’s vision of Irish economic independence.
    Very silly and informed rhetoric to be talking about “German French” masters- it’s exactly the kind of infantile headlines I’d expect to see in The Sun aimed at the semi literate dregs of English society

    Lost three years of our lives waiting for them to leave but otherwise who really cares.

    People worrying about things that may or may not happen. Things they have no control over.

    The question is . Will worrying help the situation?
    The answer . No

    Wait and see and deal with what comes. No power to change anything so adapt and overcome .

    Applies to all of life's situations
    Well that sorts everything out!

    I predict 6-8 months of gnashing of teeth from the remainers after brexit and then things will settle.
    Then other countries will look at leaving too.

    Maybe we can have the monolith disbanded in 10 years.

    The massive fear the EU have is that the UK will make a success of leaving the EU (I expect they will but it will be 2 years or so of hard graft) and others will follow. If I was a betting man I'd say Italy will look at their own exit vote within the next 5 years. The EU at it's most basic inception was a good idea and worked well for it's citizens but alas those days are well gone now unfortunately.
    Maybe that's depaffell's plan, if we wait long enough there wont be an EU to leave.

    You need to run that one again. You are posting on too many threads at once around the clock and seem to be mixing them up.

    Although you "giving up" sounds good. So il go with that

    The EU have no fear of anything the UK will get up to. They are the big market and its up to the UK to get a trade deal done. You'd lose on Italy BTW, one of the best examples of how a dysfunctional country can keep running into perpetuity. Italians don't want to leave but they do want their country fixed by the people who broke it. Some of those politicians have blamed the EU but it's really homegrown.

    It's pie in the sky stuff if you think no deal isn't going to massively effect Europe. Personally I think within 12 months the effects will be so massive on Ireland in particular the conversation on leaving and hitching our trailer to the UK will be openly talked about.

    Pride will come well down the list before having people in work and keeping the lights on.
    That will never happen bren look at how our exports to the uk are trending over the last 40 years, 9% of our exports go to britian, so ye are not that important to us and after Brexit even if ye want our goods ye wint be able to afford them

    Seemingly Andrew "the British are entitled to an Irish passport" Bridgen was talking to Marian Finucane about our shared history and even referred to Cromwell.

    I heard him. It was like talking to a brick wall. Would take nothing on board at all.
    It was Brendan O'Connor interviewing not Marian.

    I know they sound the same, but it's "dual". And no, I hope Europe survives, just EU doesn't
