Time to give Ireland back to the Irish.

Room for the homeless there then!

Really disappointing that a small group of people can ruin people's lives in this way. Time for Westminster to step and get things moving for the people again.

Proving that devolution in general is an unnecessary duplication of political structures and a waste of money.

That's politicians for you. Still, at least they're ignoring rather than bombing each other in Northern Ireland these days. That's progress of sorts I guess.

Hard to believe but it's actually good to talk 😟👍🤔
