What they want and what they will get are two different things.

If you bothered to read the article you would understand that under present circumstances, such a referendum is a hopeless cause. (Which is why, of course, Sinn Fein don't want a referendum this year, or even within the next three years).

Ain't gonna happen. If in the unlikely event there is a referendum in 2016, the chances of it being successful are remote, since Republican voters are outnumbered. This assumes that a similar referendum in the republic was also successful, which is by no means a given considering the significant difficulties unification would bring for the south.

Seems a bit redundundant in this day and age of the EU. Kind of like Brooklyn trying to leave the state of New York to become a part of New Jersey.

Nonsense.

As a forename it was very briefly popular in the United States in the early 60's (it only showed up in frequency lists in 1961 and 1962), but it is certainly not Irish in origin.

Most references to the name stem from the Italian town of the same name.

If that is true, then Conor is an Italian name.

i have never heard of loria as an irish name however every european language has a version of laurie or lauren.if joker says his moms name was irish i do believe him.lawrie is a more gaelic sounding but loria could have been an americanization
