Excellent. Come visit. Better still, your Irish grandmother entitles you to an Irish passport. And an Irish passport is also and EU passport, which may be useful if you don't already live in the EU: freedom of movement in 27 European countries.

There's nothing new in what she is saying. She said if a united Ireland came into being she would resist it...but a United Ireland can only come about by consent. She appears to be saying that she would have a problem with the democratic will of the people. Just as her ancestors did a century ago.

@ Richard Marsh Yes, I agree. If we take it that a United Ireland can only come about by consent, the UK would set in motion a plan to withdraw - what would a unionist be fighting for? The UK is not going to take NI back. So what would the point, one would have to ask.

@ streemuggedbypolice What a bizzare comment. I mean that in the EU, all members have an equal voice and the English hate being treated equal to peoples the look down upon: the Irish for example are not a people they take seriously at all; they hate the Germans, etc, etc.

@ streemuggedbypolice There are not 'millions of black, pakistani, Indian and Arabs' in Ireland. There are more Protestants in Catholic Ireland than Muslims.

There are about 350,000 Irish citizens in the UK.

There's not much to be said about it. The latest MRBI poll tells us that support for EU membership is at 92% in the Republic - its increasing.
