Northern Ireland Towns and Villages Puzzle

[Gnevin]

This is a shockingly partitionist thread

[The Watcher Pat]

As are all the threads etc about "national strikes" et al if you want to look at it that way!

[Tyrone Dreamer]

I agree with G Nevin. Is everyone comfortable now to say they are from Northern Ireland as opposed to just Ireland? I would only really use it as a geography term and would be including Donegal.

It makes me think of frank mitchell and that silly puzzle he use to have before the weather - it makes me cringe. 

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Do I remember him referring to "Londonderry" in some show on utv?

[pintsofguinness]

Well he did change his name to a more prod sounding name so probably.

So you're a Unionist then; you are if you think that the six counties differ in anything more than a superficial political way from the rest of Ireland. I agree with Gnevin.

[pintsofguinness]

Of course he's a unionist! He's from Down!

No, Im not a Unionist, neither am I a Nationalist or a Republican. I have absolutely no political beliefs or leanings.

I was born in Northern Ireland therefore im Northern Irish. Simple.

Would it that it were so simple. When you write Northern Ireland you betray a, perhaps subliminal, acceptance of a particular political perspective on Ireland in general, and on the north of Ireland in particular, which is not apolitical; rather it's a very political statement for someone who ostensibly identifies with the ethos of the GAA. And that is to say, an ethos of the 32 counties of Ireland.
