I would be interested to hear what the protestants say. Though I get fed up with them staging all these historic marches that seem to cause trouble. Can't we just move ahead?
We will shortly be landing at Belfast. Please fasten your seat belts and turn your watches back 300 years.

I doubt they would do it without bloodshed.
I would love to see a peaceful reunification if it were possible though. Ireland would be stronger together.

A separate deal for NI is a no-brainer really. Which probably means it won't happen.
Interestingly I was reading the other day there's new hope for reunification of Cyprus (which would also mean Northern Cyprus would join the EU in a similar way to the "GDR clause" the article mentions). There was a lot of momentum behind that when Cyprus joined the EU (2003?), but it ultimately failed then. I was there in 1974 so it's always of personal interest, even though I can't remember any of it.

No way will NI join with ROI - I'm working in Dublin again and I'm nearly €100 lighter after 20 mins at the docs yesterday..
No free healthcare here!

Should they both want it, then I think it would be great. But I don't think the YES threshold should be 50% after all the history there. It needs to be an emphatic decision.

I have no strong views on it, other than it seems that if the North and South both agree to unite (referendum), then it should happen.
What should be being looked at is a separate deal for NI in Brexit. NI may be better inside the customs union, therefore needing customs checks across the Irish see with GB. Even that is problematic with UK-wide supply chains.
Basically Brexit is screwing up NI big time and there are no obvious solutions.
