when is n.ireland going to be given back to ireland!!?

Answer 1

I served there in special forces when it was bad, i personally would like to see NI towed out to the middle of the atlantic and nuked, the average brit couldnt give a toss about NI and the bigots, gangsters and drug dealers that run the show, but do feel sorry for the good hard working ones, catholic or prod, who just want to get on with it.
my advice to them is move abroad foe about ten years then by that time they may have all killed themselves, then move back, and let the decent folks take over.
Paisley, adams, mcguiness, and all the rest of the arsoles deserve nothing more than a good hiding off the decent people of NI

Answer 2

When a majority of the population of Northern Ireland so votes. Read the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.

Bear in mind that the government of the Republic of Ireland already has unprecedented say-so in matters of internal Northern Ireland governance, and that nearly all persons born in N.I. are dual Irish-British citizens (with the right, under an annex to the Agreement) to be considered either Irish, British or both by officialdom.

Answer 3

I dunno, when is America going to be given back to the Native Americans?

As for "when" well there are 1000s of Protestants in N Ireland who don't want to be part of a Catholic Ireland (and these people are SCOTTISH not English origin before you start on the "Evil English" trip) who will probably have something to say about it. as a Welsh Brit I couldn't give a flying **** about it I'm not English or Scottish and Ireland being part of the UK or not doesn't bother me one way or another but the Protestants in NI might get a bit pissed off - they have bombs too you know and are liable to kick off if NI is given back to Ireland. It is not going to be a "peaceful solution" - thats what they are trying to find at the moment although I guess you wouldn't have understood that. Shades of grey are too complicated for your little black-and-white-only brain.

I guess it would be too complex for your stupid ignorant, Hollywood-influenced little brain to comprehend that reuniting Ireland won't immediately mean "peace" and its not al about "nasty evil" English and "poor oppressed" Irish, its a lot more complex than that. The Scottish descended Prostestants have been living there for 100s of years and are just are "Irish" as the Catholics. And they want to stay part of the UK. And they have terrorist groups (ever heard of Rev Ian Paisley? The UDA? The UVF??) every bit as vicious as the IRA as well who will kick off and cause trouble if things don't go their way. Comprende?! Its a fine balance that the British and Irish govenments along with the people of NI have to find. Yeah a bit more complicated than you thought eh?! You thought it was all poor little oppressed Irish and big nasty English. Woo.

Trying to explain that to some of the morons who post on here is like trying to teach Monkeys the theory of relativety. go and watch Michael Collins again and cry about how nasty "The English" (Government or people?) have been to poor old Paddy.

OH and btw before one of you IRA supporters start, blaming the average 2006 British man in the street for what the Government or Oliver Cromwell did to Ireland is like blaming all modern day Americans for wiping out the native Americans. Or blaming all Catholics for the murders committed by the IRA. Or blaming all modern day Muslims for 9/11 (which I've been told is wrong, beg your pardon)

Double standard much?

Answer 4

I hope not.

I'm from northern ireland and enjoy being ruled by the british government, especially now as the Republic has gone to lala euro land. The price of everything down there has gone up.

I consider myself british and I'm not at all bitter towards republicans. Until, the republic joined the euro, it was way behind the rest of the UK. I know of people who lived in 2-roomed stone cottages until the eary 90's!
I am proud of my scottish and british roots.

Answer 5

I am English - yet have sympathy with Irish Republicanism. The mistake was to exclude the six counties in the early part of the last century. Why should it now be a problem? We are all in Euriope and can go anywhere. If the six counties are re-united, as they should be, then as a resident you merely stay, or go.

Answer 6

Whebn everybody in Northern Ireland can agree.

Answer 7

Never.Rep of Ireland doesn't want it. And who could blame them?

Answer 8

more to the point, why the hell does the government want it? I don't!

Answer 9

Good luck to them when they get it.
