NI Census 2021

Not frustrated at all with democracy, welcome it whole heartedly.

I think I am more open to democracy than others in this forum, I am open to the possibility of more than 1 option but hey call me a partitionist if that makes you feel better 😂 😂 .

I also believe we should be putting our money where our mouth is, by part funding the NI subvention. We have a surplus, send 500m a year to show our goodwill and helping the NI economy and move once and for all, away from the hurler of the ditch mentality we have towards the six counties.

A UI is probably 15-20 years away so unlikely to impact me anyway.

How much do we fund ?

You looked it up and found out it was peanuts………so we don’t fund the North in any meaningful way.

Thanks Buddy 👍 👍

So that's the GFA, Citizens' Assemblies and now subvention that have gotten a going over from that poster.

What's next I wonder?

You made the proclamation about us funding the North, and are now struggling to back your claim up 😆 .

Interesting choice of words….proclamation 🤔

Please provide the link for the 75m, and I hope it’s not funding from the EU or from further afield.

In the White Paper published overnight, our Tax Receipts is forecasted for 2022 as close to 84 billion (see below link).

75m is a small number in that context and as it’s for a project, probably won’t be all spent in one year.

In the 26 counties we spend about 84 billion in support of a population of 5 million.

We have an insatiable desire to bring another 1.9m people into the fold, and so far you have found 75m( no link provided) in support of the six counties. If we are serious about this, we need to do far more and stop playing hurler on the ditch.

But that wouldn’t suit your UI agenda would it.

Heaven forbid the taxpayers in the South start thinking how much this might cost and the headache of listening to two communities who hate each other. There is peace in Northern Ireland, but no reconciliation.

You would think the 1.9 million don't generate any tax revenue the way you are going on.

But the NI identity is weakening, not strengthening.

I think it is the opposite. The republican community are talking up the census and spinning it to mean something that is just not there. Similarly they are talking up Irelands future conference. The reality is that a group with undisclosed backing rented a 13,000 seater arena and publicised widely to a 6,000,000+ population. They sold less than half their seats. Clearly there is little interest in stirring this issue up.
