Folks I was up in North Down last week and wondered about something, I lost RTÉ radio at about Newry but I'm sure when I was up before I had RTÉ and Today FM all the way as far as Jordanstown (well thats where I was going to). Question is, has my radio become less sensistive or is RTÉ no longer recieved away from border areas?
Further to this I don't think we'll see a united Ireland within this century - hope I'm wrong but thats my opinion. How do we then go about making the north less more acceptable to nationailists, how do we in effect lessen the impact of partition and make the north less foreign?
Things like schools and the cirriculum, radio and TV, the currency, the road signs, language all make the expeirence over the border different from the south. To me I thought the GFA was about parity and equality but it seems the state is still a very British one and surely the aim should be for it have dual identity?
