Another repetitive subject. I would love to see it but the simple fact is the number of lives that would be lost to achieve it would not be worth it. Anything that will cause mindless violence in this day and age should be forgotten about. Ireland will never be united.

As i said we are and have always been united. It is only the political process that is disjointed and the reality is it is much closer now than at any time in the history of a divided nation. It is inevitable that Ireland will be United politically. I suspect that some separation of culture will remain but it will also merge eventually to incorporate both traditions. And contrary to the last poster it will be the absence of deaths that will accelerate this unavoidable change. Everyday we grow closer and perhaps it will happen much faster than any of us expect.

The absence of deaths? Can you explain? If discussions ever take place regarding a united Ireland, the ceasefire will be no more.

Well I was sort of thinking if we were not killing each other we may become more united

They will start killing each other if the wheels were ever set in motion, just my opinion Derryman.

I would feel that the problems of ireland will not be solved by disassociation but by Inclusion that is why genuine efforts should be made by us not demanded of them

All 6 of them, three on each side? How could these 6b people oppose a united Ireland, unless they united together, although sometimes I think they are united.

A 32 Democratic Socialist Republic is upto the people of Ireland to achieve.
