@timcairns You missed the context - a key part of the cartoon - on the lower right corner - is that nearly all of us on the island of Ireland are descended from immigrants (NOT just Protestants during the plantations in 16th/17th C.). I’m a descendant of Norman immigrants/settlers.
@1PhilipSmith@IrishTimes You’re missing the context - the call out here is in the lower right hand corner - nearly all of us on the island of Ireland are descended from settlers/immigrants.

@AndyBelfast@mclaren_linzi@Choyaa13@richardtgarland@irish_news The figure you quoted is contested. For example a joint DCU/Univ. of Ulster study estimated the cost to be €3bn in year one and that this subvention would be eliminated by the end of a decade post-unification. https://t.co/cCA2FnN1DY
@ArnoldCarton@neilojim1972@itsjohncrotty “Not even Eamonn de Valera would have invited Hitler to visit Ireland during his rule.” Although Dev had his faults, your depiction of him is a lazy stereotype and historically/factually unfair/incorrect. You’re a teacher - do your homework first!
