No deal would be such a big crisis point I think it's difficult to know what would happen but I imagine something would have to give way like a new government would need to emerge quickly or something but who knows. I would have no problem voting for a united Ireland even just for the practicalities of it and to have a stronger Irish economy but there would need to be large support for it in Northern Ireland for otherwise you will end up with a division like brexit itself. I suppose the game changer in a post brexit situation would be that joining the Republic would also mean rejoining the EU but people may be apprehensive about the Republic economically as much as anything else.

Fianna fail are betting on it, or at least covering their bets.
my evidence-less theory might be that it'll all be dressed up as some kinda effigy to placate the unionists in Westminster, like their buddies will get all the border checking jobs for the air/sea thing. after that there will be some guff about a transitional border system and it will evolve into some kind of cultural agreement in which NI gets some euro-cash to replace the peace 1/2/3 stuff. 40+% of the industry is civil service and it wouldn't be completely beyond neoliberalism to just turn that into some kind of transitional sub-contract agreement. NI voted against brexit at large, and they were right so i suspect they'd be glad of some kind of meaningful vote. Also GOT landmarks being added to irelands ancient east and repainting trains and buses.

did he not have another quote along the lines of thumped being Large Mound and all their mates? Or maybe I made that up.
it's burned into my brain

bad ape
i think there was something like 'all 25 former members of the jimmy cake' but i can't find it
The Jimmy Cake reference sounds more like it. Nobody has paid that much attention to anything I've been involved with since 2002.
and the majority of those foreign nationals are English...
Thumped will outlive Nialler9.
Polish, actually. UK nationals are the 2nd biggest group, it seems Number with dual Irish nationality soars by nearly 90%
