Shows a majority of free staters and Catholics in North,do not favour a United Ireland

So it's a case of nationalism with a small n. Countrywide.

Not surprising... We would need to know more about what a United Ireland would look like before we would vote for it.

The mythical paradise of Ireland and Northern Ireland that used to be wanted was only a pipe dream in reality you're looking at higher house prices, private healthcare, water charges, USC and an insurance levy to name but a few things I would not be interested in.

The end of British occupation and equality for all religions seems to be enough for now!

Circa 30% in both jurisdictions want a UI at present.

Only 30% in the 26 Cos??
And only two thirds of the Catholic/Nationalist/Irish in the 6 Cos?
Ah well ......we can forget all this 1916 stuff next year and wear poppies instead I suppose :-\ :-[

If that poll showed anything that didn't fit in with people's narratives the show would have lost all credibility.

Bottom line is that there is a democratic mechanism in place for a United Ireland and an ongoing debate. The only way that debate will ever go away is if it does so along with the border.

Rose to 66% 'in their lifetime'. But reduced to 31% if higher taxes. Saddens me but I'm not surprised.
