Irish Current Affairs

[mancity2012_eamo]

Great programme on BBC2, ‘Peter Taylor:Ireland After Partition. Taylor has covered Northern Ireland for the BBC for 50 years.

Watched it and then Portillo’s ‘Partition’ on RTE after.
All very interesting. With the centenary coming up there have been a lot of good objective and thought provoking documentaries made.

Came across this from around the time of the Scottish independence referendum.
Gives you a decent two sides to how the debate of partition is viewed in the Republic alone.

What happens now then?
Sammy Wilson or Jeffrey come in and try to stop the Irish language act from passing?
Westminster have already said it will happen

Sammy Wilson - Poots did 21 days but Diane James did only 18 days as head of UKIP - Set Sammy a target - 17 days and no more...the DUP needs that record !!

Donaldson, most likely? And then just carry on as normal

 

[Zuriblue]

I'm really disappointed in Poots. He should have carried his leadership to full term.

And will the first minister remain?

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

And will the first minister remain?

Good question...it was his appointment that supposedly sparked the revolt. I'm hoping they go with some dick such as Sammy Wilson....see them completely implode.
Then come the elections....get them oottaefuck

 

[bluethrunthru]

They are imploding already - reality bites and all that

DUP: Paul Givan told he must resign as first minister

Nominations have now opened for the post of new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party.
