Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Nobody on either side (apart from the lunatic fringe) wants to back to the days pre-ceasefire. />
People on all sides recognise that even if they play the populist card in elections. |

Quote ="Backwoodsman"Obviously nobody knows the impact of brexit, certainly the Irish government is concerned over brexit. It's more than likely to hit them quite quite hard as we are very close trading partners with them. />

Even if the nationalists become a majority in Northern Ireland I don't personally believe that there will be a united Ireland. Even in the unlikely event that Britain abandons Ulster I can see an independent Northern Irish state before there is ever a united Irish republic.

You may be right but, does N.Ireland have sufficient levels of manufacturing or other industries that would could sustain the North as an independent state. />
Also, to overcome the problems which Brexit will bring, they may wish to be part of The EU and this would raise further interesting questions about their constitution and whether they would want to align themselves to Westminster or Dublin.

I there the appetite in the South for a United Ireland? The troubles stretched the resources of the British army, could Dublin deal with the UVF/UFF acting as an IRA in reverse? The loyalist population in the north would never accept a united Ireland without a fight.
