The welfare system in the south is crazy, you can get 200 euro a week for sitting on the dole, there is people in the north who work 5 days a week that after tax would barely clear £200 (it's about £60 in the north I think).  Also the pension in the south is 2 or 3 times as high in the north.  My wife was talking to a cousin of hers last week who has 4 young children in the south and they get 780 euro a week in benefits, her cousin works as well.  After she told me this I thought what are we doing living and working in the north.  It does seem a bit crazy.
There are no proofs, only opinions.

Maybe we could use this to convince unionists of the benefits (pardon the pun) of a united Ireland?

There are more people claiming benefits in Ballyconnell, county cavan than actually live there!!

It's not sustainable now in Eire or in the bizarre event of an all-island of Ireland state. Can't see how you could convince unionists or nationalists of the benefits of an Ireland united in bankruptcy.

There is no place called "Eire"(sic)  in the English Language . >:(

Oh come on roger old chap. It wasn't that long ago that even Big(ot) Ian was advocating a United ireland of sorts when he wanted special status for 6 county beef. If one thing would change unionist attitude it would be in their pockets. Surely all the tattooed loyalist thugs would love the extra benefits in the republic, they could give up the drug dealing and live an honest life.

This is some joke . How can he be earning €10,034 more on the dole! Of course you talk of cut backs to the dole and the likes Rossfan are outraged.
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.
