Glad we agree Jim. I believe this dreadful situation that's haunted the Irish people for so long is too important to leave their fate in the hands of an overwhelming number of mainland voters who have no allegiance to the island, and no investment in the fate of its people.

I cannot believe it's right for anyone other than the whole community of the island of Ireland to take part in determining their future - their land, their decision alone. Anything else would be like inviting the population of Normandy to vote on the future of the United Kingdom, simply because a long time ago we had the same king.
