Memo to americans: Northern Ireland is park of the UK, so you can be from there and still be British. However, since I am a taig, I wish to be part of the free-state.
@Moloney20 With the number of Welsh, Scot, Irish & English immigrants in the Unites States, you would think there would have a bit more cultural education.
@SlashinatorX Because the Northern Irish people don't want to be ruled by the Irish. They are happy ruling themselves, and most of them are happy staying in the Union. Britian is spread out on a number of islands which constitute the British isles. Ireland is one island (plus smaller ones of course) but two countries, just as Great Britain is one island (plus the Shetlands, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man etc.) but three countries.
@Kkardemumma You said "the Northern Irish people don't want to be ruled by the Irish". Anyway, there are Irish people in the NI parlaiment, via Sinn Fein, SDLP etc (as well as British).
@Kkardemumma Be more specific next time, there's a difference between "the Northern Irish people don't want to be ruled by the Irish." and "the majority of the people in Northern Ireland don't want Dublin rule".
@SlashinatorX Reunited? NI has never been part of the Republic of Ireland. In fact, the only time the island of Ireland has been one country was when it was part of the Union. Ulster has always been different from the rest of the island, and even more so since the arrival of the Scots in the 17th century. NI is more likely to unite with Scotland, to be honest.
@NickellNo1 Ireland came 8th. The UK came 11th. Do I have to say much more than that?
The difference between Ireland and the UK is... Ireland knew they wouldn't win with their entry, the UK on the other hand, you guys genuinely thought you had a chance. :)
@garytow All I see is Ireland's fierce determination to be free and the pride of its people, its fantastically ancient culture and language, its unique and delicious food and how the millions of Irish people have contributed to making this world to what it is today. I am very proud to be Irish, I don't feel inferior infact to any other nationality in fact I feel su- nevermind. :)
The UK... well I just see the decline of its sadistic, slave infested empire, but I'm looking through Irish eyes ;)
@RichardElden haha i love it wen you huns go on about de bailout, do you no where britains gettin de money to bail us out, there fuckin borrowin it haha, stupid cunts go on home let evrybody get alond de brits dont want ye and we dont want ye
@waterfordinmelbourne you say [born in england] but you are of irish ancestory,i am not,i am off english ancestory, there is a difference,you defend a united ireland,because of this,and i defend the unionist for the same reason, if they want to remain ,british subjects,it up to them surely?also todays generation of british people,cant be responsible for any acts commited by our forefathers in southern ireland ,to do so,would be ridiculous
Broadband101: 49% odd of the people in ni are my people and we will never abandon our desire to have our country united.

And as someone born in England I can confirm most English would be happy to give us back our country
@waterfordinmelbourne Nothing stays the same, there the is a serious 'Greying' of the Pro Union population,and this years Census 27th march if looked on from an objective standpoint may well throw up some interesting results, as the Last one was seriously 'Airbrushed' not to frighten this community...anyhow with regard to this Flag..'The Ulster Banner' this was the old Flag of Stormont Government...and used by same from 1953-1973 and as same has no longer has any function, times do move on.
unity of ireland will not work,the south is already bankrupt,and the brits as well as the european union has had to bail them out to the tune of billions,a complete ireland would be like going back 30 years for the north,the infastructure of south is a long way behing the uk,the 5th biggest econony in the world,no nhs ,less benefits,etc,

@dancemusic23 people ive meet support the crown, some independent, most of the people that did support the i.r.a left to ireland when the economy was booming
The province of Ulster has a flag but no anthem. Danny Boy was never associated with Northern Ireland nor does it have anything to do with it. The original tune is Aislean an Oigfear from Limavady and is an old Irish song in Irish (not fecking Bearla) about a young man's dream. The province of Ulster is no country (nor was it ever) so although it does have a flag as a province. Not even "Northern Ireland" as it has no flag. It was the flag of Northern Ireland between 1953 and 1972
THERE IS NO NORTHERN IRELAND SO THERE IS NO FLAG FOR IT EITHER. NORTHERN IRELAND, IF IT WOULD EXIST DOESN'T HAVE A FLAG EITHER AS THE ULSTER BANNER DOESN'T HAVE A FLAG. NOR DOES IT HAVE AN ANTHEM. THEY USE THE "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" BUT THAT'S THE BRITISH ANTHEM. SCOTLAND AND WALES HAVE ANTHEMS, BUT THE OTHER PARTS OF THE UK DON'T. THE NORTH OF IRELAND IS NO PART OF THE UK THOUGH, JUST A PART OF IRELAND OCCUPIED BY THE UK JUST LIKE THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND IS OCCUPIED BY BIGOT BASTARDS.
@jorgenpfhartogs: that's what I said. The flag I was talking about (yellow and without a crown) is the flag of the Irish province of Ulster. That's the ONLY real Ulster flag.
@PSVfanaat The province of Ulster has a flag but no anthem. Danny Boy was never associated with Northern Ireland nor does it have anything to do with it.

@PSVfanaat THERE'S NO NATIONAL FLAG OR ANTHEM FOR ULSTER AS IT IS NOT A COUNTRY. IT'S A PROVINCE OF IRELAND JUST LIKE THERE ARE 3 OTHE RPROVINCES STILL OCCUPIED BY BIGOT PUPPETS
I do not understand. Maybe somebody can explain this to me. Please tell me why is it six pointed star on this flag? Is it connected somehow with Jewish David star? I saw Jewish flag just next to this Northern Ireland flag. Please tell me interpretation of this star on thatt flag why is it there?
The star of David is deffo alluding to the freemasonic/israeli links, the old staunch prods have. Sure look at all the trappings of lodges and on the orange halls the freemason symbols etc.
Their enthusiasm for the more old testament in the bible, which alludes to the israeli penchant for conquest and being the chosen righteous ppl, just like the orange order etc
It aint the 6 counties - its the NWO freemasonry clique that they were involved in since the Ulster-scots went to the u.s
@CeltzKrieg - I'd forgotten about the LOL symbols etc so you're probably spot on about the masonic links. The "official" reason of the 6 counties sounds much better in the polite circles of North Down and South Belfast tho, don't ya think?
I thought you were laughing lol. LOL lol. If you get my drift. On a more serious note, yes, I have to conclude it is freemasonry. Look at the influence scots-irish had in America. Some were signatories, i think, to the declaration. And they left out God.
deffo, freemasons, and I think they have taken the loyalist ppl for a ride. The loyalist ppl want to be british, i understand that, but the NWO/freemason thing took hold of their ppl. It's all tied up with identity now, pity
I do not understand. Maybe somebody can explain this to me. Please tell me why is it six pointed star on this flag? Is it connected somehow with Jewish David star? I saw Jewish flag just next to this Northern Ireland flag. Please tell me interpretation of this star on thatt flag why is it there?
Why is Northern Ireland a part of U.K. rather than Ireland? what does the hand on the N.I. flag stand for? I've seen the same hand on the flag of Abkhazia...
@owaisinus Because they offered to decide at the 1920s to stay or to leave the UK and Ulster province excluding 3 counties choose to be loyal to their sovereign. The red hand is the Red Hand of Ulster from the times of the High Kings. The myth says they decided whom to be the lord of Ulster in a boat race. Whom ever touches the shores of Ulster first to be high king. The one was loosing cut off his hand and threw it ashore winning the race and claiming Ulster.
@OBoyle1916 "Danny Boy" isn't an anthem. It's a joke of a song they sing at Bunratty Castle to the tourists. As or the tune "Londonderry Aire", well how can you have a national anthem that's only about one small part of the country. That would be a bit like the USA adopting "New York, New York" as the national anthem.
@usernametakenasusual I know Danny boy isnt an anthem its a song. What has your comment got to do with anything i said. Are you trying to justify as to why this tune sounds like an 60 year old with lung cancer trying to play the tin whistle and failing miserably.
@OBoyle1916 When you ask a question, end the sentence with the following symbol: ? Also, when referring to yourself, always remember to capitalize the letter "I". Now, as per your "questions". The fact of the matter is I was agreeing with you. No, I wasn't trying to justify anything. If it's a fight you're looking for, get off your computer, go outside and pick a fight with someone. Because as we all know, fighting online is like competing in the Special Olympics.
@usernametakenasusual Sorry I forgot I was writing my dissertation. I will keep thy's wonderfuly magical extravagant mindblowing tips for furture extraordinary internet encounters and I hope these newly found skills will deeply inhance my skills at texting. Lets end this converstation at the Northern Ireland athem is shit.
This will just be a song in Ireland in a couple of years. The official anthem wil be Amhran Na Bhfiann because the IRA will take back the six counties.
Northern Ireland is a failed statelet of the untied kingdom, not a country. It is not the provience of ulster either, Ulster is made up of nine counties, not six(donegal, cavan and monaghan being the other 3). Get ur facts right
So sad Ulster has invaders and people who dont belong to Ulster/Ireland. The natives are Irish Celtic Catholics and not protestants who are of english and scottish heritage and welsh heritage. Shame these folks dont have their own country. I will keep Praying until the day Ulster becomes part of Republic Of Ireland where it truly belongs and the protestants will be evicted. That day will come. Its shame protestants were slaves of english yet still lick their ass.,
@evertonfa comments like that are whey there will never be a united ireland. you lot havent a clue about us so how can there ever be a union between our 2 peoples. we sair nothing in common, we want nothing to do with you. live your life in peace and how you wish and leave us alone to live ours
Actually if I'm not mistaken here, Londonderry Air represents NI at the Commonwealth games, and it's seen as the unofficial national anthem of the country because of that. However GSTQ is sung at for instance football games by both the English and the Northern Irish, and seeing as both countries are part of the UK and of the Commonwealth I see no wrong in that.
@1Fianna ,yes i know that a third of the counties of that province lay within the borders of Eire.Donegal ,Monaghan and the other one who`s name escapes me..
Please explain how a melody written by an Ulster-Scot, in a style which doesn't lend itself to words in any traditional "paddy music" style, and with lyrics by an Englishman (Frederic Edward Weatherly), is "our music"?
Personally speaking, it's a shame Ulster-Scots music is burdened by this boring rubbish. As far as I'm concerned I'd let you fenian motherf*ckers keep it.
Warriorking1963, You know something, I respected your comment until you said, "you fenian motherf*ckers" Then I lost more respect when I discovered you found those facts on wikipedia, and you do realise that "fenian" was the name of a group of heroic Irish Warriors? So, don't say words you don't know the meaning of. Your mother should've told you that.
That flag isn't the flag of Northern Ireland either. Northern Ireland has no official REGIONAL flag or anthem.
@Skyifictionable Hey, do I REALLY give a shit about what an Irish Catholic thinks of me?
So the info about Danny Boy is on wikipedia. I knew that long before wiki was even heard off. Facts still remain facts, and that song has got NOTHING to do with paddy music.
I am fully aware what a fenian was in Irish mythology. It was also the name of the scum who belonged to the IRB, another bunch of treacherous, murdering, b*stards.
First of all, how the hell should I know? I don't read mines.
Second, I'm sure you did know all of the facts you stated before, I was just puzzeled at the fact that they were worded almost identically to yours. Also if you had read wikipedia correctly you would have noticed this phrase: "it is most closely associated with Irish communities." So, you could call it "paddy music" actually.
Yes, you're fully aware now that I've told you, also, that's your opinion on the IRB, should do I REALLY give a shit about what a British Protestant thinks of Nationalist groups who have one aim: Get the British out of Ireland?
thye didnt belong to the IRB they came before them and nothing wrong with danny boy in fairness tis an old tune but still ok ....after a shit load of pints that is...
@Skyifictionable The flag above was officially recognised as the provincial symbol of Northern Ireland, until the government abolished it in an attempt to toady up to Sinn Fein/IRA thrash. Your mother should've told you that!
On a more conciliatory note, I took a look at your profile (nice to know who I'm talking to) and must say I like your video of the plane at Dublin airport.
This flag was 'the Ulster Banner' the Official Flag flown by the Northern Ireland Government [Stormont] from 1953 [Coronation Year] until the collapse of that government in April 1972 That body was dissolved under Northern Ireland Constitution Act of 1973 So in that regard this Flag no longer can be flown from any public building Talks are a foot to maybe create a new flag for both communities The minority Community curve seems to be quite profound @ 42% 2001 Census next Census 2011!!!
They're Anglican or Church of Ireland, which is technically a Protestant denomination, but is actually very similar to Catholism, more so that Presbyterianism.
BritishBulldog, your sarcastic remark about Irish education is uncalled for. The Irish education system is one of the most respected in the world. Your comments throughout, demonstrate how bigotted you are notwithstanding that they appear to be benevolent and tolerant. You can fool some of the people some of the time.
You are correct! Scotland is the greatest threat to the "UNION" I presume UK. There has NEVER been a TRUE UNION. It is nice to see the end of Tyrannical Britannia.
No its "seeing as the protestant population dropped from 20% to 3 in 10years in Eire, I dont think we will give up our own right to self determination to rascist bigoted imperialist Irishmen" my view has changed alot but id still NEVER bow down to a government run from the Dail, same way I laugh at Westminster..
norther ireland is a country.....!!!! Ulser is a provance that was used back in the middle ages. ulster extended across the entire northern part of ireland. since the seperation ireland those in the north adopted the old term of Ulster.... get your facts right dick head
@david123451988 Northern Ireland is a country (6 counties). Ulster is a province of Ireland (9 counties) ya fuckin wanker learn some geography and history
@david123451988 If you can't even get the geography right, just stay away from the politics. Ulster is the province (9 counties, n.i. plus cavan, monaghan and donegal), northern ireland is the country, which is part of the sovereign state (not country) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!
@david123451988 Norhtern Ireland is a Country. Ulster is split, parts of Ulster are in Eire (Irish For Ireland which refers to the republic of Ireland)
Since when was Danny boy (the derry air) the national anthem of Northern Ireland? This British imperialist Unionist state doesn't even have a nationality let alone a national anthem. I'm from the North of Ireland and I'm Irish and very proud to be so.
UlsterManRFC86, you last comment, sounded, as if you were trying to say that we came to "your" country and started settling there. Don't be so rude in future. Anyway, soon Northern Ireland will have more Catholics than Protestants, I wonder what'll happen then...
What does the number of catholics vs protestants have tae do wit anything? Ye make an assumption that all catholics are in favour of a united ireland. How ignorant of ye.
Ok... ok... There's a lot of comments being spread here, some nice, some not so nice. What i think will sort out all our problems is if we move the entire Island south towards the same latitude as Florida or something. Everyone will be too damn warm to care who's a protestant, catholic, nationalist, loyalist, smurf, Unionist or even a Republican! I mean who really cares? The nicest parts of Ireland are the parts where no one lives anyway.

The original tune is Aislean an Oigfear from Limavady and is an old Irish song in Irish (not fecking Bearla) about a young man's dream. The province of Ulster is no country (nor was it ever) so although it does have a flag as a province. Not even "Northern Ireland" as it has no flag. It was the flag of Northern Ireland between 1953 and 1972

THERE IS NO NORTHERN IRELAND SO THERE IS NO FLAG FOR IT EITHER. NORTHERN IRELAND, IF IT WOULD EXIST DOESN'T HAVE A FLAG EITHER AS THE ULSTER BANNER DOESN'T HAVE A FLAG. NOR DOES IT HAVE AN ANTHEM. THEY USE THE "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" BUT THAT'S THE BRITISH ANTHEM. SCOTLAND AND WALES HAVE ANTHEMS, BUT THE OTHER PARTS OF THE UK DON'T. THE NORTH OF IRELAND IS NO PART OF THE UK THOUGH, JUST A PART OF IRELAND OCCUPIED BY THE UK JUST LIKE THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND IS OCCUPIED BY BIGOT BASTARDS.

@jorgenpfhartogs: that's what I said. The flag I was talking about (yellow and without a crown) is the flag of the Irish province of Ulster. That's the ONLY real Ulster flag.

I do not understand. Maybe somebody can explain this to me. Please tell me why is it six pointed star on this flag? Is it connected somehow with Jewish David star? I saw Jewish flag just next to this Northern Ireland flag. Please tell me interpretation of this star on thatt flag why is it there?

@duomox83 the 6 points on the star represent the 6 counties of Northern Ireland. It has no connection to the star on the flag of Israel

@lottpaul1
The star of David is deffo alluding to the freemasonic/israeli links, the old staunch prods have. Sure look at all the trappings of lodges and on the orange halls the freemason symbols etc.
Their enthusiasm for the more old testament in the bible, which alludes to the israeli penchant for conquest and being the chosen righteous ppl, just like the orange order etc
It aint the 6 counties - its the NWO freemasonry clique that they were involved in since the Ulster-scots went to the u.s

@CeltzKrieg - I'd forgotten about the LOL symbols etc so you're probably spot on about the masonic links. The "official" reason of the 6 counties sounds much better in the polite circles of North Down and South Belfast tho, don't ya think?

@lottpaul1
I thought you were laughing lol. LOL lol. If you get my drift. On a more serious note, yes, I have to conclude it is freemasonry. Look at the influence scots-irish had in America. Some were signatories, i think, to the declaration. And they left out God.
deffo, freemasons, and I think they have taken the loyalist ppl for a ride. The loyalist ppl want to be british, i understand that, but the NWO/freemason thing took hold of their ppl. It's all tied up with identity now, pity

@owaisinus Because they offered to decide at the 1920s to stay or to leave the UK and Ulster province excluding 3 counties choose to be loyal to their sovereign. The red hand is the Red Hand of Ulster from the times of the High Kings. The myth says they decided whom to be the lord of Ulster in a boat race. Whom ever touches the shores of Ulster first to be high king. The one was loosing cut off his hand and threw it ashore winning the race and claiming Ulster.

@OBoyle1916 "Danny Boy" isn't an anthem. It's a joke of a song they sing at Bunratty Castle to the tourists. As or the tune "Londonderry Aire", well how can you have a national anthem that's only about one small part of the country. That would be a bit like the USA adopting "New York, New York" as the national anthem.

@OBoyle1916 When you ask a question, end the sentence with the following symbol: ? Also, when referring to yourself, always remember to capitalize the letter "I". Now, as per your "questions".

So sad Ulster has invaders and people who dont belong to Ulster/Ireland. The natives are Irish Celtic Catholics and not protestants who are of english and scottish heritage and welsh heritage. Shame these folks dont have their own country. I will keep Praying until the day Ulster becomes part of Republic Of Ireland where it truly belongs and the protestants will be evicted. That day will come. Its shame protestants were slaves of english yet still lick their ass.,

Actually if I'm not mistaken here, Londonderry Air represents NI at the Commonwealth games, and it's seen as the unofficial national anthem of the country because of that. However GSTQ is sung at for instance football games by both the English and the Northern Irish, and seeing as both countries are part of the UK and of the Commonwealth I see no wrong in that.

"Our music"?
Please explain how a melody written by an Ulster-Scot, in a style which doesn't lend itself to words in any traditional "paddy music" style, and with lyrics by an Englishman (Frederic Edward Weatherly), is "our music"?
Personally speaking, it's a shame Ulster-Scots music is burdened by this boring rubbish. As far as I'm concerned I'd let you fenian motherf*ckers keep it.

Warriorking1963, You know something, I respected your comment until you said, "you fenian motherf*ckers" Then I lost more respect when I discovered you found those facts on wikipedia, and you do realise that "fenian" was the name of a group of heroic Irish Warriors? So, don't say words you don't know the meaning of. Your mother should've told you that.
That flag isn't the flag of Northern Ireland either. Northern Ireland has no official REGIONAL flag or anthem.

@Skyifictionable Hey, do I REALLY give a shit about what an Irish Catholic thinks of me?
So the info about Danny Boy is on wikipedia. I knew that long before wiki was even heard off. Facts still remain facts, and that song has got NOTHING to do with paddy music.
I am fully aware what a fenian was in Irish mythology. It was also the name of the scum who belonged to the IRB, another bunch of treacherous, murdering, b*stards.
Warriorking1963 2 years ago
First of all, how the hell should I know? I don't read mines.
Second, I'm sure you did know all of the facts you stated before, I was just puzzeled at the fact that they were worded almost identically to yours. Also if you had read wikipedia correctly you would have noticed this phrase: "it is most closely associated with Irish communities." So, you could call it "paddy music" actually.
Skyifictionable 2 years ago

This flag was 'the Ulster Banner' the Official Flag flown by the Northern Ireland Government [Stormont] from 1953 [Coronation Year] until the collapse of that government in April 1972 That body was dissolved under Northern Ireland Constitution Act of 1973 So in that regard this Flag no longer can be flown from any public building Talks are a foot to maybe create a new flag for both communities The minority Community curve seems to be quite profound @ 42% 2001 Census next Census 2011!!!
