Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

When my Irish and Irish-American friends start getting all "United Ireland" with me, I, churl that I am, raise two points:

  1. Ireland couldn't get united when there was nothing but Irish there.  Clontarf was the last good shot, and there were Irish on both sides for the usual reasons.

  2. Do you think the Republic's "special relationship" with the Vatican might give the Anglicans and Presbyterians in the North pause about the benignity of union?
