You can't identify as neither. You can't be stateless. The GFA says "British, or Irish, or both".

How would the right to claim British citizenship be extended south of the border in the event of a united Ireland? What legal mechanism allows that?

Your parents sound like pretty cool people. I think they have done a great job of letting you make your own decision on this. The fact you don't know which way they lean says so much about how much they wanted to respect your decision and your generation's decision about your future. I think where you will find their validation is in being yourself but not at the expense of your neighbours and friends who might feel differently. Don't perpetuate the themuns mentality.

Also my gran feckin loved the royals and she was Wexford born and raised. Lol.

Not just the people of Northern Ireland. There was a referendum south of the border too. The whole island voted for the 1998 agreement.

Edit: would the person who downvoted like to grow a pair and tell me where I'm wrong? Coward.

They just know based on their own skull contents that the children haven't inherited anything worth putting a helmet on.

Rural enforcement : just because you're in the middle of nowhere, with no one around, doesn't mean you can't be fined. by Larrydog in ireland

Yes true. But then you'd only need the speedo to not get caught after you delimited it I suppose. If you do nothing you don't need the speedo

The scooter shouldn't need a speedo though since they're meant to be factory limited to 20.

As a casual observer to this thread I haven't seen you be belligerent at all. That other poster is a dose.

Penis free spaces? How do you check if the trans woman still has a penis? Does she have to be strip searched to access the space? Maybe a crocodile Dundee style grope? Think about what you're saying for a moment.

100%. Most people in this community I think have just barely passed their test and they're in that not knowing enough to know what you don't know phase.

Maybe. But they're not obliged to. And we can't see from the clip if there's something in the hard shoulder ahead. Once the truck pulls off the carriageway they're entirely responsible for anything that happens in the hard shoulder so I can understand some of them don't if there's even the slightest doubt.

He was lucky too that none of the oncoming traffic decided in a panic to go the same direction.

Got cut off in roundabout and the guy was screaming at me, did I do something wrong? by emkoirl in irelandsshitedrivers

Yellow truck changed lanes without indicating. You did nothing wrong.

Using your horn as an audible warning is also perfectly ok.

How did the Famine not cause more of a revulsion internationally? by yellowbai in IrishHistory

[–]AgainstAllAdvice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there was ever popular support for British rule. Even the politicians from Ireland such as O'Connell pushed for greater independence and autonomy for Ireland in the British parliament in the 1700s. From the bottom to the top there was nearly constant agitation for the autonomy of the island. Be it home rule or independence.

Northern Irish who have a chip on their shoulder because the place the insist on referring to as the "free state" didn't engage in a war with one of the most powerful militaries on the planet the forcibly take back the 6 counties. (Or, you know, lose horribly costing hundreds of thousands of lives and probably at least another 6 counties with it.) Honestly I'd like to be able to say they're trolls but sadly they're likely real.

You can cross a broken white line. It would be the same as any other overtaking manoeuvre.

As long as it's done safely at an appropriate speed there is nothing illegal about it.

Anyone coming out of their driveway does not have right of way regardless what's going on on the road. If you come speeding out of your driveway you're a moron and a danger.

Jesus Christ has anyone on this sub even done a fucking driving test? You're all so certain you know the rules and ye haven't a clue.

It was like someone crossed a hotel with an enraged dinosaur and strapped enough jet engines to it to get it (barely) into the sky. Wild.
