SINN FÉIN PRESIDENT Gerry Adams is calling for a border poll to be held under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement in the next term of the Assembly and Oireachtas.
Speaking today at a conference in Dublin, the Sinn Féin leader said the political and demographic landscape in the north is “changing” and called on the governments “to set a date”.
Acknowledging the differing views of Northern Ireland, Adams said the poll would protect all citizens, “including rigorously and unequivocally seeking to protect all identities and traditions” and added, “in the event of a united Ireland the right of those who define themselves as British will not be affected”.
Adams believes that the partition has also been bad for the economy and jobs and said “a planned single island economy would be good for prosperity… and would benefit everyone. Together is stronger”.
What do you think? Should a border poll be held?

I would suggest teenagers who drink regularly to excess would have a lower level of brain activity before they started drinking

That explains everything.
No bottle or can health warnings, no education, no penalties for underage drinking, no support for those who become addicted.
I could never become an alcoholic after what I saw it do to relatives. Meanwhile my friends never shut up about how funny and grand drink it. Oh well …
So everyone in Mediterranean Europe has stunted brain growth? After all most of those countries have a culture of drinking wine with meals from an early age.
have your say
