The future of Ireland will be decided by the people of Ireland, not whoever occupies Downing Street. Andy Burnham’s comments on a referendum on Irish unity were anti-democratic & completely at odds with the Good Friday Agreement.

Seeing as Tory MP Katie Lam posted this on the 50th anniversary of the murder of Majella O’Hare (12yrs old) by the Parachute Regiment, I’d suggest she takes a closer look at the Paras record in Ireland before she offers any more opinions on keeping us “safe from terrorism” #Tory #Ireland #Terrorism #IE

Europe had two catastrophic wars in the 1st half of the 20c. Since NATO’s emergence & until the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there has been no major war in Europe. That facilitated the development of the EU which has enabled Ireland to prosper like never before since we joined #NATO #EU #Ireland #EU #IE #RU #UA

We are not members of NATO & nor do I think we ever will be, but NATO members are all friendly to Ireland. NATO has helped our part of Europe avoid major war for 70 years.
