Question

Would a single all Ireland economy be more beneficial to the Irish then a divided north & south one?

Answer 1

Of course it would.

But apart from Sinn Fein all our politicians in the south think it's way better to let sleeping orangemen lie.

Answer 2

Probably. Not goin' to happen tho'

Answer 3

The Question is not if there should be a united Ireland. It would be more beneficial to people in the north because as it stands coporation tax is more than double in the north then its is in the republic, but as usual Northern protestants with an inherent hatred of all things Irish will not work with the Republic to increase there own well being

Answer 4

Absolutely not! Northern Ireland would be a vast drain on the Republic's resources, for example the limited health system we have in the South already! It is would never happen, Northern Ireland would become an independent state before it would become a part of the republic.
