What is this idiotic idea about Ireland rejoining the Commonwealth?

In today's Irish Times is a snarky and condescending editorial apparently responding to some political movement for the Republic of Ireland to rejoin the British Commonwealth. Although I try to follow Irish politics fairly closely, this is the first I've heard that such an idea was even being considered. Needless to say, I was appalled. Whose idea is this? Surely it doesn't have much political traction, especially since Ireland is a member of the European Union and the U.K. is not. I'll research the matter a bit myself, but I'd appreciate your opinions on the matter.
Additional Details
I neglected to note that I'm American, so my perspective is not necessarily the same as a resident of Ireland or Northern Ireland.

I should be doing something else
Yeah someone posted about it in another question so I did a search for the fella who wrote it.

Turns out he is a 'satirist' - That is his full time job. I read some of his other 'work' and I have to say it was all equally as idiotic as the piece that you read.

Not my idea of humour at all, and I find most things funny, so that is really saying something.

Coincidentially, according to his Wiki page he is a Unionist, which is fair enough, but why is he choosing to write for Nationalist leaning newspapers, and even more of a query is, why are they agreeing to print this crap?


PS - The UK are indeed part of the European Union (Not sure why you thought it wasn't?) but the currency is not Euro like most EU members, rather Pounds STG.

There is absolutely no reason on this earth for the Irish Republic to even want to be part of the Commonwealth.


Wise Guy
The UK is a member of the European Union, it joined in 1973 along with the Republic of Ireland.
Whatever Political movement that is, it is a pathetic joke and these people will never ave any decent support, the Irish people laugh off such a suggestion

Well it's the first time that I've heard of it too. Hopefully, it's not true as I don't think that there's a single person in this country that would agree with it or accept it.

I also thought the same concerning the point of the Republic being unable to join the Commonwealth because of it being a member of the EU. Hopefully this is just a mistake on the Irish Times part as I feel that if it is true then the country is going backwards in a big way.

Most of what came back were the new Ireland for most of the Irish came to America, to be replaced by the Scots and English.


Janice
I'm from Northern Ireland. I hate when there are talks of having a United Ireland. No. There's Ireland, on its own. And then there's Northern Ireland. Part of the UK and governed by her Majesty.
