Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis
I agree that Unionists are not Irish but unlike you I believe that this is what they have chosen- not necessarily what they are- almost as a genetic truth as you imply. Also, despite everything I believe that we are not an island on its own in the Atlantic-we're part of an archipelago. . Just wonde...

Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis

Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis
Where's the demand for a border poll down here in the Republic?? It's not exactly top of the agenda, if anything it's a long, long way down peoples list of priorities.

Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis
I'm not sure there is much learning to be done. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of unionists can and do live alongside nationalists every day.
