United Ireland an 'inevitability' - Shane Coleman

Northern Ireland’s new Catholic majority is just another sign that a united Ireland is an “inevitability”,Newly released figures from the 2021 census revealed that 45.7% of people in Northern Ireland are Catholics, while 43.5% are Protestants.Advertisement

“Given when the north was established it was a ‘Protestant state for a Protestant people’ as one of their Prime Ministers called it,” Shane said.“It has all sorts of political implications - even though the birth rate among Catholic families is falling - maybe it’s more a political stalemate than anything else but it is still hugely significant.”In this spring’s Assembly election, Sinn Féin emerged as the largest party - fuelling demands for a border poll.

For Shane, a border poll in the short-term would not be ideal but in the long-term he thinks there will be a 32 county republic. “I don’t think this is going to happen short-term or even medium-term and I kind of don’t think it should happen short-term or medium-term.

We are in the home straight and nationalists are galloping past while unionists are only tiring. Border poll in the next govt led by the Shinners 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍

No

Do we really want it. And all the head aches that comes with it

Silly talk at this stage. It’s people that must be united & not territory. DUP will have to take notice & realise that they do not speak for the majority anymore.

What a daft question. No is the answer. Not for years to come. The electorate still has to be convinced. That's a long way off .

This fella 🙈🖕😂😂

Not necessarily . People are assuming to much.

NO 🙄
