As romantic as a united Ireland sounds, it would financially cripple the republic to try and maintain the six counties.
As the north is now seemingly at peace with one another, let sleeping dogs lie, nobody wants to go back to the troubles again.
Another ten generations down the road, and who knows, maybe the bigotry will be all but a distant memory?? |

Why When How
|
well it's wrong to say never. I think if there were a referendum today people would want to stay part of the UK
It's cheaper, more job security (just)
I'd like to see a united Ireland but I don't think it will happen. |

I was going to give a decent answer to this until I opened it and saw the Tiocfaidh ár lá bit.
People like you are an embarrassment to the rest of us.
Go away and come back when you have grown up. |

well, if even an idea of a united ireland is brought up in stormont it may well be the troubles chapter 2. Also, I doubt the republic could actually deal with the cost of another 6 counties |

christ.give it a rest.i've answered 3 or 4 questions exactly the same as this in a space of a few weeks.there is now peace in northern ireland and all you people can think about is getting your counties back? micheal collins and the rest worked hard to get the south of ireland free from the brits and you want more? protestants and catholics live in the north peacefully now after many years of fighting.do you want to destroy that so you can get your counties back? you can say 'tiocfaidh ar la' as much as you want but your day hasnt come in the past decades so i dont see how it'l come now.dream on and stop being so selfish.and by the way,i'm not a retard i know what 'tiocfaidh ar la' means |

I'd say neither the British or Irish governments really want the six counties for economic reasons and I dont think the Irish government could afford to keep them. I know you're only asking a question but it smacks of someone who knows nothing of the subject she's dealing with and is trying to cause trouble. Nothing wrong with a healthy debate but only if you at lwast have some facts! Alan M those facts are not right!xx |

We`re all in the United States of Europe now, so what`s the difference? |

Get them back from who exactly?
England don't occupy Northern Ireland anymore, the Northern Irish do.
I'm pretty sure the counties belong to the people of Northern Ireland and jumped up Dublin retards to decide it for them.
Not to mention that the vast majority in the Republic don't want the North again because the fighting that would break out in the event of reunification is not something we could be bothered with.
How do you think it would be if the rest of the world had the same mindset as you. Every country in the world has lost territory over the years and guess what they got over it so I suggest you do the same. |

I should be doing something else
|
Ugh, stop trolling.
1 - They are not 'our' counties, we do not own them, their fate doesn't lie with us.
2 - Tiocfaidh ar la is seen and used as a term to provoke and offend in the North, which is why someone above took offense to it.
3 - Alan M - Those are crazy stats, did you just make them up? |

Alan? You got a source for that statement? Because I certainly can't see it being true! Who would want to be british here like?!!!
A question like this is asked once every 2 weeks like. But no, not for a long while will we be united i'd say. Too much bloodshed, too many differences. I'm not in any rush for it to happen anyways! |

You are from Dublin so what difference would it make to you? |

I wouldn't have thought it would be economically viable for the Republic to take on the Six Counties. If it is correct what one person said that the vast majority of Irish people living in the Republic would like to be British again, have they forgotton the ultimate sacrifice that some Irish men and women made so that Ireland could have the right to govern herself? Although, Brussels is governing us all now. |

Someday. But not for a long while yet. And not with violence - been there, done that, didn't work. |

To be honest, I don't want them back. We aren't blowing each other up any more and that's all that really matters.

I do think it will happen someday but not for a long time I fear, the troubles hasn't been over for long and there is still a lot of hatred and resentment around, also you must see that the bigoted and sectarian Orange Order still have a lot of say in the North and a lot of people in high positions are members of it and until it is watered down or its influence is taken away then they will be an obstacle to the reunification of Ireland. It will happen someday but we will just ha |

Will the Uk get its counties back again. ? Most people in Republic want to be British again like N. Ireland. Last poll showed a vote of 88%. |

Yes and I will explain exactly how you'll get your six counties back.
The Catholic Nationalists in the six counties do not practise birth control by the use of condoms or the birth control pill or the morning after pill or any such.
Thus over time they will outbreed the present protestant majority.
There's only one fly in the above ointment and that is that before the six counties can return to their rightful place as part of a greater Ireland, there has first got to be a vote.
There is no guarantee that the Nationalists in the six counties will want to join a greater Ireland.
Only time will tell.
It might help where there to be a slow spread of Irish culture - you know, the language, the poetry etc.
Only problem is that like my own native Welsh poetry, no-one outside of Wales (including myself) can actually read it all that well.
Thus, Dylan Thomas had the right idea and took his mad Celtic nature to the people of the world and not just to the Welsh.
