That cash was discussed with Sammy Wilson when he was minister in 2012…was there a border poll coming in 2012?… Nothing to see here!!
There isn’t. They’ll just absorb us.
Who do Dublin think they are improving our lives like that?!
There isn’t a border poll coming.
When’s the tricolour going up at city hall? 😊
Fingers crossed for a monorail.
Let’s see if killin em with kindness works.
Seeing as just killin em didn’t work the other way.
Now do the UK Government Nett spend…
Casement 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It must be hard for the DUP and their likes when they need the republic of Ireland to help prop up their failing Sectarian shit Show that their buddies, who are committed to the ‘union’, aren’t willing to develop.
Hourly trains, that’s fantastic!
Now if only we could get a train between derry and letterkenny…
If it does happen, I just hope it ain’t another Brexit except with much larger change in terms of government and laws. From what I have learned from Brexit, making huge changes in the country like breaking from a union, should NOT come down to a popular vote from the general public. The public, in general, are stupid and have no idea what these types of changes will mean economically and politically. And it’s not like changes like these can just be revoked easily. Even if the UK does go back to the EU, it will be without all the benefits we enjoyed before, that most of us only realised we had once we had left.
All I can hope for is that it is genuinely in Northern Ireland’s best interest, unlike Brexit. Brexit is a fucking shambles. And it was voted for by people who just wanted to get the foreigners out. And the people who vote for a united Ireland are by and large just people who grew up in a catholic household and learned that the Brits are hateful oppressors.
I live and work in the Republic and I have no issues with the Irish Government contributing towards infrastructure that will benefit people on both sides of the border.
Improved transport links between Dublin and Belfast can only benefit both cities and I think everyone apart from Jim Allister, Jamie Bryson and other assorted eejits will welcome the investment.
Irish fucking Government sticking it’s covetous nose into NI affairs again. Bailing the place out with medical places and now infrastructure projects.
A border poll is inevitable regardless of Chris from Daventry’s recent statement. 39% ready to vote for a UI without a single piece of work done on a plan or anything. Given the movement from supporting the Union to a UI has been around 14 percentage points over the last 8 years given another +5 years there will likely be a clear majority looking to reunite.
While I don’t think this is evidence of a border poll coming soon there is definitely a trend of ‘linking the island’ together on a cross border basis from transport infrastructure to education and economics. All this should have been the case years ago but obstinate unionists have blocked this so the british and Irish governments are going over their heads.
I’ve been of the view for some time that a border poll will be won in the 2030s I base this opinion on the census basically there will be nationalist leaning voting majority in the 2030s making a successful border poll very likely. There is always context and the situation can change but demographics do show clearly that the british identity majority is gone at every age under 65 and various forms that include Irish identity have a majority at every age under 45 with Irish only having the plurality.
Lucidtalks most recent poll showed 52% of Northern Irelands population ‘aspire’ to a united Ireland even if that’s off by the margin of error demographics point to that figure increasing. I don’t think that’s a case of Saint Augustines prayer but even if it is the core of unionist support is over 65 they will die at a significantly higher rate than nationalists every year going forward.
Even if you’re opposed to a united Ireland there is in effect a gravitational pull in that direction so it is undeniably time to start planning. I believe marking 2035 as the year for a border poll would be sensible but it may not be sensible to announce that in 2024.
Well of course a Border Poll is coming anyone saying no is delusional
The only 2 questions relevant is
Will it win
When it will be held
But the border poll itself is coming one day fact
I think Fine Gael have been quietly doing the bits Sinn Fein are screaming out loud.
Drop in the bucket, we’ve 50yrs to catch up it’s going to cost billions just to get the country on a even state , UK government needs to step up and give more in block grant for at least 10yrs just to sort out the decay in the nhs, roads, houses and environment
The only thing that came were big girls in the devinish .
Thats pocket change and nothing to do with a UI
I do hope it comes with a big sign stating it’s built with Irish Government funding with a dirty big fleeeeggggg
It’s not. Shut up about it.
And trying to close off half the towns in Ireland to traffic..
And in return can we PLEASE have Greggs in the 26. My nearest one ( newry ) closed last year and it breaks my heart.
No occupation he toy thick as a brick human. Partition was an agreement between the free state and the British government. Also just for the record your so called freedom fighters murdered more catholics than the rest put together. Murdering scum supported in no small part by the government in the republic. Another fact, since you brought up the name. Gusty Spence was the only terrorist leader who actually offered a total apology for what his organisation did. Still waiting on Gerry and his friends do the same.
Like a stuck record. Border poll coming, border poll coming, border poll coming…. like a wee annoying jack russell.
