sofarsogood: Someone could start a thread about Aliens and you would find a way of bringing up Northern Ireland and the troubles in it


The time for Irish unity is now -- economically, politically it makes perfect sense

Imagine alien economists landing from another planet to assess the state of the Irish economy. (Don’t laugh, for many Irish that is what the last few years have felt like, as troika economists – highly respected and capable but with very different frames of reference to most Irish people – have visited our shores). What would those alien economists say?

The first thing they’d have difficulty understanding is why an island nation of 6.5 million people on the edge of Europe has been split into two separate tax, currency and legal systems.

The second thing they’d have difficulty understanding is why one part of the island is – devolution aside – effectively governed from a city in the south of a neighbouring island whose voters don’t even share the same political party.

The third thing they’d have difficulty understanding is why after conflicts all over the world have been settled, Ireland remains the only developed country outside Korea to be divided




Sofar people are way ahead of you in your thinking that Ireland as a whole is a viable alternative than a divided society..

And before you spout the mantra about the o6c not having a say in affairs that affect the 26c..You've no idea of the amount of cross pollenation between the two parts of the island. Instead of talking about subjects you don't have a real grasp on, check out the new special needs school being planned for St James..

Irish Health Minister James Reilly said he was now considering how the new children's hospital might best contribute to an all-island health service for children.

He added..

"I am seeking to ensure the involvement of Northern Ireland members in the governance arrangements for. . . the building of the new hospital," he said.

Previously you said you know very little (words to that effect) about the Troubles or the o6c. But you claimed to know a lot about ancient Irish history..Do you want to talk about Strongbow, The Tudours, plantation...United Irishmen...1916 rising..???

Or you could talk about Edward Carson who was a Dubliner (like yourself) and set up the UVF..

I think the 1937 Constitution should be scrapped and a new one created that serves the interests of the people of Ireland.

I would say, burn the bond holders and use the politicians as firelighters!
