I’m no legal expert so I will leave that side to those who are, but forcing your citizens without say into something is never a good idea. Particularly if they end up paying higher taxes, longer wait times for hospital services etc. Surely it’s right that the people down here get a say too?
I have some friends and relatives in both NI and the Republic, over a long period of time the general view among them seems to have been that whenever a time is ever reach when the North wants to join the South, it will be the South that rejects it. Obviously this is just anecdotal, but if its not a legal requirement then not holding a referendum in the South is maybe because the politicians fear this might be the result?
Latest polling (published May this year) indicates 67% in the Republic in favor of unification -https://www.google.ie/amp/s/amp.rte.ie/amp/1213202/
It's because Article 3 of the Irish Constitution states that unity is"'the firm will of the Irish Nation, in harmony and friendship, to unite all the people who share the territory of the island of Ireland in all the diversity of their identities and traditions, recognising that a united Ireland shall be brought about only by peaceful means with the consent of a majority of the people, democratically expressed, in both jurisdictions in the island."

Flip sake.
Nobody is rioting since the general public let them down when they last tried.

Good thing we’ve got boatloads of spare doctors and nurses to deal with these sorts of things
While there’s no doubt that’s all a disgrace I’m not sure it’s fair to put it on some kids going to a disco. Our health service being under financed and badly managed is the problem.Good thing we’ve got boatloads of spare doctors to deal with these sorts of things
My step mum got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last week, but had been told at various points that there’s so little capacity they’ll struggle to do x, y and z. So they went to private healthcare for the first time and were shocked to find out they have no spare capacity at all, the whole idea of it being a way to get things down when the system’s overloaded…both systems are overloaded.
She was basically lucky to get a couple of tests done and it all relied on individuals going out of their way to squeeze things in outside the system. My aunt didn’t have such luck with her cancer check up.
But hey it’s all worth a night out at the Elk, right lads?
It is mad out there right now - I work in NHS and we get regular emails with updates from the wards and it makes grim reading. Then you go on facebook and forums and it's full of utter bellends horrified at the thought of them being asked to have a vaccine or up in arms about possible vaccine passports. They seem unaware that it is actually THEM who are extending all this shit for everybody else and it is THEM who are forcing the government into considering vaccine passports in the first place.Good thing we’ve got boatloads of spare doctors and nurses to deal with these sorts of things

No doubt that’s the much bigger and long-term problem but you can’t just decide to do things in ignorance of the reality you exist in and the consequences those acts pose.
That’s true and there’s no doubt some kids are just dicks who think of nobody but themselves. The bigger culprit in that scenario though is the venue that allowed it. Ultimately kids will always push the boundaries of what they’re allowed to do.
Rightly so IMO.
Should probably be noted that that isn't why it was dismissed. Rather the ECHR said the case was inadmissible because he hadn't yet exhausted all options within UK courts.
No dictating about it. What would stop a cake maker to refuse to make a cake for a bah mitzvah because they were anti Jewish?

Several Sinn Fein MLA's not exactly looking great either for that matter.
same lesson learned, I'm sure every politician is nervously thinking back to what they once wrote. It's a classic trait in the north though, "the other side are doing it to"
The fact is they are all at it. The general standard of politicians in Northern Ireland is absolutely abysmal - I include every single party here - most of them couldn't hold down a job working in Tesco nevermind run the country.
