PROC United Ireland Poll 🇮🇪

[Bennyton]

They’d lose approximately £20 billion annually in tax revenue. We’d have to buy people’s public sector pensions, stamps etc etc.

If a referendum was passed it’d take years to finalise. The money may not go directly to the UK Government but we’d have to not only match whatever funding they provided to NI but exceed it to entice people to vote for it.

The statelet takes 30 billion to run.

The defecit is 10bn, the north is still very much a primary and secondary economic activity provence.

Lots of office space is used for government administration, the UK could boosts some of it's own regions with those jobs, and it would leave a lot of property in the hands if Ireland, to repurpose.

Honestly the north has so much untapped potential, it's really the best land, it's scary.

I'd invest a fortune in trains and stations, to get journey times way down, I'd move government departments to Belfast. I'd get onto the FDI drug in a new way and flood the place with the jobs we have everywhere else.

You wouldn't be long plugging that 10bn gap.

I'd sooner give Mrs Greedy an after hours lick out on a Saturday night than vote for a united Ireland.

 

[Crusty Ring]

That's very pessimistic.

Ireland gets a lot right, despite all the shite that doesn't go right.

Our expectations of the government are much higher than 20 years ago,and there are plenty examples of brilliant developments across the country.

I think it's realistic tbh.

Of course there are loads of things we do well and alot of development in the past few decades however can you honestly tell me our health system is fit for purpose given the billions that are thrown at it? it's rife with inefficiencies, anyone working in the HSE will tell you this.

Do you think the Guards are funded, staffed & trained to the required standards?

Those are just 2 examples of primary public services that are majorly lacking and I could name many more.

So you want to take jobs from the rest of the country to give them to NI and you want to take badly needed infrastructure improvements from Cork, Limerick, Galway etc and prioritise Belfast and Derry instead?

Because that’s exactly how this would be spun.

I though he meant McGregor just now got it that he meant Greedy.

I'd sooner suck a 12 hour shift worth of love juice out of Mrs Greedy's snatch on the hottest day of the year than vote for a UI.

 

[Coach and Six]

What makes you think we'd pay the UK any money?

They'd be quite happy to let us take it off their hands.

The north is like a clapped out Ford Fiesta that has been on its last legs for decades. It's owner would be delighted if someone was willing to take it on. They can't afford the scrapage.
