My guess is that Ireland's economic success will do more to reunite the country than all the IRA's bombs ever did. It's a lot more palatable to join an economic dynamo than a third world country.

"The Irish would be wise to keep immigration at a minimum"

"Too late. Been to Dublin lately?"


Ain't that the truth! The last time I was in Dublin I couldn't tell if if I was in East Asia or Eastern Europe.

Ireland, which had been dominated and poor for centuries, while Great Britain is falling apart.
