Yes, because of the population size, hence I used Wales example.
Keep up lad keep up If DUP to back to work the budget will be restored, as above. It's coercion by the Tories, because absolutely no one gives a toss about the DUP unionists, not Dublin not London, they are history. |

No point having a general election if Stormont is closed
Don’t be silly |

By:
Per capita pd .. per capita

By:
Certainly call a GE if you wish .. Unionists will not be going back
into Stormont until it suits them - end of |
|
By:
I suppose it suits SF even more,people not getting properly governed with budgets aren't pointing the finger at them but the dup,the downward trajectory is their own making.

By:
There’s nothing the British government tories , labour , London Dublin ,or Washington
the EU or anyone else can do about that , sorry |
|
By:
They can stop paying them.
They can devolve powers, they are. |
|
By:
Ah , Stormont is devolved power .. and people in NI have voted for unionists
I’m afraid there’s no getting around that Fact |

By:
DUP - We have made clear, the fundamental problems with the protocol
need to be addressed ‘ in all our discussions we have made clear that a financial settlement is not, and will never, influence that. Of course the budget needs fixed , it is an entirely separate discussion We will fight for the best financial deal . No financial negotiations will influence us seeking a fair deal on the protocol issues …. |

God I really do have to spell it out for you lfc,try now to get the concept.
If I have to build from scratch in NO a new rail network and you had to do it in England, it would cost more for NI per capita. It's been forecast and measured as required at a need of £124 per person but they are now only getting 121 per capita.required That means an understatement lfc. |
|
By:
Underpayment*
|
|
By:
That would come under the department of infrastructure of the U.K. government
Therefore people in NI would not be paying more - U.K. taxpayers would fund that / or private companies |
|
By:
Stop pretending to be fooking dumb, it's not a real rail network...
|
|
By:
See the benefits of being part of the U.K. ?
NI might struggle to fund a new rail network - or existing one - on their own with such a small population |
|
By:
They aren’t stupid - they know what’s good for them -
And always have done |
|
By:
By the way free rail travel for the over 60s in NI - good
|
|
By:
Do they have that in south Ireland pd ?
|
|
By:
They have free travel, not sure about age.
|
|
By:
Think it might be 66
|

By:
extra paracetomel for you from nursey tonight LFC
only one of a couple needs to be 66 in Ireland you both get free travel |

I wonder if our Irish friends would be as keen if they realised what the cost would be, not to mention a century of "unrest". Good luck with that.

Wont be half as much as what it cost with the Brits here for 800 years in....LIVES

By:
Lol project fear Foinavon?
In your piece you admit that the cost to Ireland(David McWilliams) is 'only' 4% of GDP,tis for nothing! |
|
By:
I think the political class here has been silently divesting the UK of NI since Bliar thought the Belfast agreement was a good idea. It's nearly done apart from the posturing and the denials.
Enjoy. |

Best to ignore the Irish bigot when he's talking nonsense, which is most of the time.

You may have a point Foin re NI being 'dumped' by the UK,i thought the same myself at times,how can you now have 1 part of the UK in the EU?
It would be like a puppy getting an almighty funt up the hole for the loyalists though,unrequited love and all that. |
