    The Protestant/Ulster Scots were always a separate nation and, beyond a few dreamers, always considered themselves such.

    Did James Craig not say in the NI Parliament on 5 March 1929: "We are Irishmen ... I always hold that Ulstermen are Irishmen and the best of Irishmen."

    I know for certain that it wasn't an Irishman. Somebody mentioned here before that Winston Churchill was the sole architect but I don't know for sure. And whoever it was, why aren't they remembered?

    I call it the Republic of Ireland as well but I always say to foreigners 'I live in Ireland but I don't live in Ireland' just to see the look of confusion on their face.
