Iām not sure itās the south wouldnāt want to support the northerners, I think we canāt afford to. People here (Dublin) underestimate the value of the NHS, no one from NI would want to pay ā¬60 just to see a GP & then whatever the cost of a prescription is on top of that. Correct me if Iām wrong, but I have been led to believe that a lot of people are employed by government in one form or another, what would happen to those jobs? In my view it should not matter what we want in the south or what the UK want, there are only 6 counties at this point whos views on a United Ireland should shape future discussions - and only if itās something that is overwhelmingly desired by the people of NI does planning for it come into play.
There's a lot of people employed in gov funded companies ,invest NI brings a lot of foreign companies to the north only because they get a grant from the gov when that runs out most of them pack up and leave unless they're able to establish a profitable business that can sustain their workforce ,most are call centre / It based and Belfast seems to get the bulk of them ,everyewhere else is an unemployment blackspot .
A few American companies walked away without an executive they couldnāt release any funds this year
Invest NI halts scheme funding amid budget crisis

Direct rule it is then
Northern Ireland is a failed state.
Not long till the election do you think the shinners will come out on top , Gerry's already planted the United Ireland tree lol.
If your historical references serve you correctly, Mr Collins was shot by your first Presidentās men. Mr de Valera had blood on his hands. Talking of hands, please keep yours off our beautiful Northern Ireland! I love the south, Dublin would rank high among my favourite cities but Iāve no wish to be under Rome rule. Most have no idea what the ānormal ā people went through here. I grew up in a very mixed, very happy area of Belfast. In 1971 we were āput outā of our houses so Catholics could have them. By the same token my friend Aineās mum was put out of her happy family home for Protestants. I pray for peace in Northern Ireland but no reunification. PS Didnāt we do well at the rugby??
I'm not sure how many want reunification, it seems only one side feel threatened while the other don't have a choice .
I thought at one time reunification might happen but seems too far gone now. How similar are ROI and NI culturally?
Thatās a hard one to answer because the north pretty much have their own traditions .
Reminds me of Derry Girls...
Well itās not exactly like that but near enough.
About 25 years ago I used to work with a number of companies in N.Ireland and once or twice a year I'd travel over and visit them. One time my wife came with me so that after I had finished business we could enjoy a long weekend on the Antrim coast. It was wonderful by the way.
One of the companies I dealt with was in Derry and the managing director drove us round the city to see the sites. It was early August. My wife suddenly said "Oh look, I'm surprised those people are having their double glazing done". Short pause and the MD said "Actually Mrs Moth they are boarding up their windows before the marches".

The towns usually come to a standstill to accommodate the orange order traditional routes.
I think SF largest party is looking exceedingly likely for the next election. I just can't see how the DUP can retain their same numbers with how they have been; UUP, all of that Beattie twitter stuff aside, do look to be staging themselves as the option for the more moderate unionist vote.
I don't necessarily agree though that SF taking the largest number of votes is indicative of a need for a referendum on unification - I think Michelle O'Neill would be jumping the gun a bit to start shouting for one so soon.
