Northern Ireland or parts thereof may claim independence from the Republic....After a referendum to Unite Ireland.....

Ireland may not deny them Democracy....

Is that so ? And what 'referendum to Unite Ireland' might that be ?

it seems you know of a ''what referendum''.....What referendum is that ?

You appear to be a bit confused (again)... the Border Poll I was referring to is a referendum for the electorate of the Six Counties. It's provided for in the Good Friday Agreement...

Sinn Féin are set to trigger it with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to occur in the next couple of years - the increase in the nationalist population coupled with the majority vote in the Brexit referendum for NI to remain in the EU have created a new dimension to what would until recently have been a tribal roll call which no one was in any hurry to generate.

The outcome of such a referendum would be with the people of the north - it's their decision. There are no other 'united Ireland' polls or referenda on the cards or in anyone's agenda - those matters were put to bed twenty years ago during the GFA.

Never confused where I sit....

Brexit happened despite all the future forecasters....
Now didn't that put the shoite up the so called clever ones.....LOL

There is no history of keeping to agreements regarding the North.....what will be will be whether you think you are clever or not and I think you certainly are not..

SF are keen on this referendum, 33 international politicians from 16 nations acting as "observers" are in Catalonia to ensure a "fair" vote. SF are sending 4 of the 33. What's the bets that the rest are from loony nationalist parties too?
