Tim,
I just got a glimpse of the headlines, approx (54% protestant and 44% Catholic). I am still amazed that some unionists politicians feel that this is good news for them. Their majority has been steadily declining year after year, but they still insist that they have nothing to fear regarding an united Ireland.


The numbers are not what I expected to be sure, I was figuring on maybe 51% protestant and 47 % catholic. It does not really matter, the important thing is it shows a declining majority and hopefully this will be enough to make them realize that the best road open to them is the road to peace and reconciliation with their catholic neighbours, (before it's too late).
The numbers also could be a little suspect as people who declined to answer the religous question were assumed to be protestant or catholic based on their address.
It does show a much younger catholic population compared to the protestants, so it's only a matter of time really until the catholics have the majority, Whether this leads to a united country or not will I suppose depend on many factors at that time.
I'm just delighted to see that their bigoted, unjust and corrupt system is finally nearing it's end.
If only the hoops could come up with a string of victories life would be so much sweeter. Hail Hail.
