There are people who had British passports that decided to take out an Irish one to avoid queues in Spain, go on Eramus etc.

These results will create a bit of heat and light tomorrow, but are not really news to anyone who keeps in touch with things. However, there are going to be people who do not pay much attention who will notice this, including those in the 26 counties and Britain. I think it will be create a sense that NI is not going to last, even if you do not think that now is the time to close it down. For it to last then unionism has to keep the interest of people who are not from an Orange or Protestant background, there is little evidence of unionist parties being good at this or even wanting to do this.

Statistics can be used to prove anything.

In fact stats are a bit like beer - the cause....  and cure.... of all life's problems.

Only to people who don't understand them. Those of us who went to the Abbey had an excellent mathematical education.

You could argue that the Catholic population has risen while I argue that Catholics population growth is slowing down. Both are right but two different messages.

How many catholics want to remain in the union. See themselves as northern Irish.

Religion doesn't indicate voting intention but I see the bullshit has started already. Over on slugger, Mick seems to be have have had a brain fart (again). He has a whole article which basically tells us all that most of the others or none are actually Protestant. This is horse shit because as we know religion isn't the headline figure but community background. So even if you are atheist agnostic etc etc if your parents or grandparents were Catholic/ Protestant then you tick the appropriate box. The none and others are mainly children of mixed marriages or immigrants.

Yeah it has went from there will always be a majority of protestants to religion doesn't matter for voting intentions when there isn't a majority protestant any more.
