It seems rather an irrelevant question to me, Gareth. After all, in or out of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland would still have a health service and a benefits and pension system.

It's not a million miles removed from saying to someone who, a few years ago, when they were railing at the way the Tories were running the show "If you think they are doing such a bad job, why do you use the Health Service they are in charge of, and how can you bear to go to the Post Office and collect Child Benefit paid by a Government you dertest"

You live in a place that is part of a country, you use the services, simple as that. Even if you think that place should be part lf another country.
