Tam the Bam - thanks. That is indeed an informative site---at least for those who can tolerate (a) statistics & the analysis thereof; and (b) the possibility that demography may be destiny. I've looked at that massive report before; and once posted it myself as a Clickie, somewhere-or-other on this musical-and-therefore-Irish-permeated Forum.
Although it's far from certain (as the Report rightly indicates), I think the preponderance of demographic evidence suggests that NI will probably someday vote to join the Irish Republic. I'm biased because I favor that---recognizing that that's real easy to say, from thousands of miles away. And -- I also think that if demography is indeed destiny, there's something intrinsically sad about that, regardless of one's preferred outcome.
Well. We shall see. But for the present, I still wistfully wish that the peoples of NI could settle upon an official-or-unofficial Anthem---regional, provincial, national, bicultural, call it what you will. Oh well -- I suppose not. (Not *yet*?) I suppose there is more important work to be done at this stage. (It just would be -- well -- nice.)
For anyone so inclined, here are assorted "official" (distinctly non-musical) NI-related sites:
