@9DY8GQC8mos8MO
They should be able to sit in the Dáil and have a small input when topics that effect the north are being discussed
No, but there should be an all-island body containing elected members from both sides that consults on issues that might affect the entire island.
@9JYYK2B3mos3MO
Yes to a degree, it is important to take their opinion into consideration on certain issues, particualrly those that will have implications for the North.
@9B8RMDW1yr1Y
Not unless NI becomes part of Republic
@9B64JP41yr1Y
They should, as we should be one unified country.
Under specific circumstances, as history has shown in the past this very scenario is incredibly controversial
@9B39VFD1yr1Y
Yes, only if they are Nationalist/Republican representatives
Aslong as they are Nationalist/Republican
@99ZS5JD1yr1Y
yes if they support a united ireland
Only for reasons that concern Ireland as a whole ie brexit
OnLy if they want to reunite Ireland
@99R6L8F1yr1Y
If they were to try become part of ireland again then yes but if not then no
@99QPD4Q1yr1Y
Not always but they should be invited on occasion
@99P75R61yr1Y
Only if they wish to sit in the Dáil
@99NRNLN1yr1Y
I don’t know enough about this
@996S9CP1yr1Y
They should get speaking rights, but not voting rights, unless an issue may impact NI (e.g. I think we should have had a combined COVID response)
@9927T731yr1Y
Yes to listen and offer advice but not to make any final decisions
@98Z2QQ61yr1Y
Yes, if we become a united Ireland
@98QMMVY1yr1Y
If they support a free ireland and identify as irish and have irelands best intrest with no English regulations then yes
@98QM8N71yr1Y
No, unless a United Ireland is in progress
Only if they are nationalist
@98NCDCB1yr1Y
Would need to see a more specific definition of 'sit'.
@98NC59Z1yr1Y
With their consent yes & consent is vital when it comes to electing Members of Parliament in Northern Ireland be able to sit and participate in the Dáil
@98MVPVL1yr1Y
On a cooperative basis having no say in policy making
@98DYTHD1yr1Y
Only if the goal is for united Ireland
@98CKRVB1yr1Y
maybe, depending on the issue
@98B83P31yr1Y
Yes, but they should only get a say in things that have cross-border implications.
@983RN791yr1Y
Yes because they’re Irish.
@97YG7FL1yr1Y
Unless they are republicans that desire a united Ireland
@97YBBQQ1yr1Y
I think that would cause more issues up north than here
@97Y9TSS1yr1Y
Yes, but only if they are nationalists
@97Y8SSY1yr1Y
Yes, but the representation should match the proportions of the rest of the Republic.
MLAs should be able to contribute to debates in special sessions of the Dáil but not vote until reunification
@97VNX5X1yr1Y
Yes, but they shouldn't vote
@97TK3871yr1Y
Only if northern ireland and the republic were united as one nation
when Ireland is united they can
@97C78GQ1yr1Y
I think since there is a special relationship, they should be able to sit and observe activities in the Dáil, but not actively participate.
@978QXVS1yr1Y
If they’re elected in both they should.
@96ZBSSW2yrs2Y
Depending if the matter has anything to do with them
@96WX8CN2yrs2Y
Only if we are allowed in their parliament
@96TBK382yrs2Y
should hold a place in involvement and have says
@96QHBLJ2yrs2Y
It would probably cause a sovereignty conflict with Great Britain so no, they should not.
@96PQ2PF2yrs2Y
No unionists but nationalists Ok
