DaveBhoy - More power to your elbow. If my memory regarding the history of Northern Ireland is correct, Craig was initially offered the whole nine counties of Ulster but rejected it out of hand. Why? Because the Catholics outnumbered the Protestants and there was no way that was acceptable. The "compromise" of course is still with us. One solution of course to the problem would be if the British Parliament decided to give a date when the millions poured into the six counties would end. It would be amazing how soon things would change.
