Also I believe that the only thing lft to unite in Ireland is the southern nationlists with the Ulster Unionists. I think the fea that they have between each other is irrational and illogical. Infact it is th misunderstanding betwn these people that have caused most of the troubles of the last 100 years omaghjoe (Tyrone) - Posts: 1191 - 18/10/2009 13:44:47 457695 Link 0 |

Yes Once some can provide a solution that ensures 1) buy in from the 1m odd unionists to ensure we have no political upheavel 2) Ensures that we have 25 years of economic support from the UK government to the tune of circa £10 bn p.a to support the civil service structure in Northern Ireland at its existing level that would be mostly redundant in a 32 county state as the positions already exist in ROI 3) Any referendum in ROI needs also to include a clause that social welfare in ROI is reduced to UK levels 4) Agreement from the unions in ROI to reduce Min wage to UK levels 5) A 12.5% corporation tax stucture in NIRE to deliver US investment which when the 25 years runs out will support a reduction in civil servant headcount through a gradual migration into the public sector 6) Agreement from nationalists and unionists in NIRE that they are happy to pay ROI rates of Excise duty/VRT/VAT/PAYE/Income Levys/PRSI 7) Agreement from nationalists and unionists in NIRE that they are happy to forgoe the vastly superior public healthcare system that they are used to. After that Everything will be rosy and I welcome our Northern Brethern with open arms under any colour flag or tune of anthem that works ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 18/10/2009 17:17:50 457822 Link 0 |
