There were three candidates for the partition of Ireland rather summarily drawn up, with the current abomination* as the chosen one; that despite earnest promises from Britain that the Boundary Commission's findings would be implemented, but her perfidy soon put paid to that plan.

* Any incarnation of partition is actually an abomination.

Don't know about that.. look at the Fermanagh border around the lakes. Strangest bordering layout u could get.

Would that (county) border not have been drawn up long before the partition of Ireland?

Yup. Those lines were only ever intended as local government boundaries. Partition was seen as a temporary measure, so they probably didn't think it would matter much.

I seriously doubt the Brits looked at partition as temporary.

Yesterday's article on the Dubs has to go down as the most turgidly boring thing I have ever read.

He's completely losing the run of himself over on Twitter. Entering into the sort of territory that could get him in hot water with his employers.

Why, what did he say?

As far as I know he's a self employed barrister and is a millionaire. He'll have no concerns about any repercussions.

I think his views on GAA matches on Sky or other pay-per-view platforms are spot on.

That started a long time ago. Last year I poked gentle fun at him and he responded with a string of expletives.

The GAA have sold their soul by giving sky backdoor games and 2 super 8 games. Anyone who questions it gets a string of expletive insults in response.
