Ireland has turned over its laws to EU courts. Its immigration and borders to Schengen, Its turned over its monetary policy to the EU central bank. The EU considers Ireland a dumpy suburb of Brussels, and its become part of the infamous PIIGS. Post-modern Irish politicians are happily dismantling the Catholic Church and its 1000 year culture in Ireland.

Are there any “nationalists” still out there? The IRA is a joke

This is Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK.

If the IRA are “nationalist” in any fashion, then they’re national socialists.

“PIIGS” is a pejorative coined by the EU to cover their own guilt (they are a social market economy, remember); and it’s also part of the very Alinskyite nature of the EU itself.

The Brits treated Ireland like crap. They were very abusive and Ireland had to choose to accept it, or throw them out by force. I can see their point.

But why would you fight for almost 100 years to free Ireland, only to turn it over to the EU?

Ireland has turned over its laws to EU courts -- that's false and shows a lack of understanding of the jurisdiction of the ECJ - the European Court of Justice only arbitrates on matters relating to implementation of and interpretation of regulations from the European Council and EU parliament. It does not judge on internal legal matters

Its immigration and borders to Schengen, -- this is hilarious and shows utter lack of any reading on the Schengen zone.

HERE is the map of Schengen countries

you notice that Ireland isn't part of the Schengen - show how has it "turned over its immigration and borders to Schengen"?????

Its turned over its monetary policy to the EU central bank. - this is partially correct in that the EU central bank does have a large say, but it is NOT "turned over" this is what they themselves say "The Central Bank contributes to Eurosystem monetary policy which aims to ensure price stability. Our Governor is a member of the Governing Council of the ECB, which meets every six weeks to review monetary policy. We are responsible for implementing policy decisions in Ireland as part of this decentralised structure. We also manage liquidity, which is vital for the sound operation of the banking system."

ts become part of the infamous PIIGS - you're about a decade late. PIIGS no longer exists - Ireland is off that list in every investment banks' portfolio. And even Portugal and Spain are no longer considered so dire. heck, even Greece is in better shape

Post-modern Irish politicians are happily dismantling the Catholic Church and its 1000 year culture in Ireland. - that is 100% true.

The joke is on you.

Sinn Fein is the largest political party in Northern Ireland and is highly motivated. They support the Palestinian cause, every socialist agenda and use thug enforcers in the neighborhoods.

There is a reason Stormont has no government for two years, Sinn Fein.
