Given how the shinners are living rent free is his head 24/7, it wouldnt surprise me if this was all a dream that he had.

As regards the Scums sole reason for existing :

A united Ireland would cost €20 billion every year for 20 years, a new study suggests.
The report, by the Institute of International and European Affairs, said such an expense would require an increase in taxation of around 25% and/or a significant reduction in expenditure.
The costs are based on pre-pandemic 2019 figures and would be higher based on today's figures.
Unification would add around 5% of modified Gross National Income (GNI) to the Irish Government's deficit, according to the study.
If rerating of welfare payments and public sector pay rates in Northern Ireland (to align them with those in Ireland) were included, the cost would be almost 10% of modified GNI.
This would add a quarter to public expenditure in Ireland (total Government expenditure in Ireland currently amounts to around 40% of GNI), while producing a very limited increase in revenue.
To deal with the resulting deficit, which would be likely to persist for many years after unification, there would have to be a dramatic increase in taxation and/or a major reduction in expenditure south of the border.
"Even though Ireland has a much higher national income, funding the needs of the people of Northern Ireland in a united Ireland would put huge financial pressure on the people of Ireland, resulting in an immediate major reduction in their living standards," report co-author and Co-Chair of the Institute of International and European Affairs Economists Group John FitzGerald said.
The authors argue that the cost of unification could be substantially reduced if Northern Ireland made major changes in its economy in order to raise its productivity.
If Northern Ireland chose to remain in the UK indefinitely, by reforming its economy it would greatly enhance its economic position within the UK.
This would result in a substantial improvement in its relative standard of living, the authors said.
Reform would reduce the Northern Irish deficit and, therefore, also substantially cut the costs associated with potential unification.
Under the most favourable circumstances, it is likely to be at least two decades before the productivity gap could be substantially narrowed, report authors said.

As usual this Cult and reality and so so far apart.

I've not read the report but one of the statements you include jumped out from the page

"If Northern Ireland chose to remain in the UK indefinitely, by reforming its economy it would greatly enhance its economic position within the UK.
This would result in a substantial improvement in its relative standard of living, the authors said."

If NI chose to remain in the UK the way it has been for the last 100 years it "would greatly enhance its economic position within the UK"?????? How on earth would that actually work??? Just by continuing the status quo things would change dramatically, or if it reformed its economy it would greatly enhance its economic position within the UK - why could it not reform its economy within a reunited Ireland and also greatly enhance its economic position. Or are they arguing that it would be much easier for the north to become a big player within the UK economy, than it would to become a big player in a 32 county economy? Seems very strange to me tbh.

It's almost as though the piece was written by someone with a vested interest if they come out with statements like that.

"If Carrigaline chose to remain in County Cork indefinitely by reforming its economy it would greatly enhance its economic position within the County" kinda stuff

You are wrong (quelle surprise) about the people that are allowed to have a handgun in the state. There's permission and license given to those in some gun clubs typically for target shooting.

And you can categorically state what you like about your witnessing the firing of shots by paramilitaries in St Finbarr's Cemetery. It never happened, outside of your cult-fevered imagination. You can not point to a single photograph, or even news report from the 1970/80/90s to support your bizarre claims and the more people here that point out to you that you're wrong, the more you double down on your stupidity Otto.

Facts are indeed facts, and you're just spouting lies. Again.

Why were so many Gardai there so ScumMan ?

Once again, something here that is being completely ignored.

The fact is I saw them firing shots from handguns up in the air at the Republican Plot, end of story.

That does not of course suit your narrative.

As regards your mention of hand guns and those in gun clubs, I highly doubt that is the case, but I know some people involved in same and I will double check on that and will be back.

Did you properly read or fully understand the statement?

"If Northern Ireland chose to remain in the UK indefinitely, by reforming its economy it would greatly enhance its economic position within the UK.

N.I. is part of the U.K. and in the E.U. single market and customs union so unlike Scotland and Wales it has the best of both worlds and it would gain very little economically in uniting with the Republic.

The N.I. economy is already doing better than the rest of the U.K. (Scotland,England and Wales) due to its dual access. London will always do well on its own.



Carrigaline as a large commuter suburb of Cork does not have its own "economy" or different jurisdiction either economically or politically.

That clown things that Carrigaline is a good example as its half way between the City and Crosshaven.

What an absolute clown

Some people here seem to detest the idea of a United Ireland. I find it strange.

What is in it for Cork or Munster?

Huge investment would happen between Dublin and Belfast to the detriment of the rest of the country.

N.I. is a complete kip as it is and it requires huge investment.

Corks gets little enough as it is from central Govt.

Do you really want 1 million angry Loyalists etc dragging the country down at a huge economic cost that we cannot even afford?

Some sort of federal solution might work with Stormont retained for the 6 counties but all the polls in N.I. continue to show that it will not be passed in any vote anyway.
