GalwayGuy35: We couldn't afford to take it back even if the Prods agreed to a United Ireland (which they won't).

It costs the Brits a couple of billion a year to keep Northern Ireland going and I don't think it's any real asset to them anymore.

Actually things have never been as friendly between ourselves and the British, lots of them live here and vice versa.
donald trump will pay our bills

1916 is not the anniversary of Irish home rule.

It was an important, if failed rebellion, after which the execution of its leaders, mostly poets and dreamers, took place.

It was this unnecessary act which inflamed the Irish nationalist fervour.

However, the War of Independence which finished in the signing of the Treaty in 1922 still had to be fought before we got partial independence.

I hear you, and defer to your greater knowledge of the situation. I still have a question that I am sure you will find legitimate: If everything is as hunky-dorrie as you say, then, why all the fighting and violence? confused

There is very little of that now. Some republicans refuse to accept the will of the people and continue to use violence but it's only a fraction of what went before.
