To answer the question of turning 2 countries into 1. Simple, Northern Ireland is not a country. It is 6 of the 9 counties of Ulster.

@@gerardflynn3899 So the island of Ireland is one country?

​@@jujutrini8412 I think what he means is Ireland is a nation state now. If you add Northern Ireland it becomes a different kind of country where there are two nationalities within one country.

Definitely special

​@@jujutrini8412 in fact yes it was, and then split in 1922. The difference between the Island of Ireland and Island of GB is that Ireland was 1 country that split. GB was comprised of 3 separate countries that joined together forming the UK.

Its like that with ‘two different countries’ because ireland was invaded & occupied. You shouldnt have a go at the people from britain who moved to ireland as they were most likely used by the people in power but one method that is used to displace societies & civilizations is to move a large proportion of another populationi into the home of another through migration. Alot of the migrations that have happened throughout history & are currently going on today are highly organised by elite power in control.

Yeah but all of Ulster would cost the same as Connaght to run in terms of the civil service with bigger tax revenue, so not really that bad & the british figures don't tell the full story. Plus there will be massive benefits of expanding the Dublin Commuter belt.

@@roryoneill9444 also the brits would have to foot the bill for any of the outstanding pensions owed so that is a massive bill we don't or won't have to worry about

I think you are mistaken on your assumption. When Ireland became a Republic who paid the pensions ? Dublin can’t afford a United Ireland. Coveney said he expects help from the EU and Britain. I think you will see that no one helped Germany and it’s reunification and that will be the precedence to work off. UCD put the cost at 30 billion Euro a year. Please explain how 6 million people will be able to find an extra thirty billion a year ?? On top of their current tax takes

@@michaelfitzpatrick6264 there have been many studies, you're just chosing the one that suits your point. A Canadian university done a study that showed that the islands economy would boost by 35 billion within 8 years and that was 2016 money.

@@davidstokes5905 it''s one country divided in two. The two partition states are not countries

The sooner the better as right!!

The answer is simple. Most people in Northern Ireland are ethnically British. Their ancestors originated from Britain, hundreds of years ago. Because of this, they retain a strong British nationality. And it makes sense for them to favour political union with Britain.

Both sides had their own problems, poor me don't wash your nonessential attitude. The EU control Ireland not the Irish, wake up. Only time the EU takes back their money.. 160 billion. In debt now. 👌

Same platitude non-argument I was hearing used in the Scottish indy referendum tbh, on both sides. He's not a deep thinker as much as he thinks he is.

I think I can explain, although he didn't fully explain it himself. Ireland (Republic of Ireland) is a nation state. It is united by a shared identity. If all of Ireland is united into a single country it will be a country of 2 nationalities. In Britain (Northern Ireland aside) we have 3 nationalities but we have been united for 300 years and we have a monarchy, we had a British empire etc. There is lots that unites us. It was a long time ago that we were fighting amongst ourselves. In Northern Ireland their fighting was a lot more recent.

Yes we do

If they really wanted to know what the majority of the Irish people wanted they would have had a democratic vote on the issue of Irish re-unification years ago.
