So that the English can understand them!
Democracy is important.
If there is a Vote and NI Votes to join Eire, fine by me.
It would save us a mint and we could scrap the Common Travel Area.
Until there is such a vote, it remains part of the UK.

Bear in mind, though, that people in the north of Ireland - as in Scotland - voted to stay in the EU, that result being totally ignored by Unionist MPs. Democracy, it would seem, has its limits!

If the people in NI decide in a referendum to unite with the ROI then I will be happy for them. It's their choice and would be just as democratic as the people of UK voting to leave the EU. In that eventuality the UK would save approx £9 billion every year - more than our net contribution to the EU. So a win for democracy and a win for the UK taxpayer.
I notice you failed to answer my question about grandchildren yesterday.

The people in the UK voted to leave the EU. It wasn't a referendum by region. Is that so difficult for you to understand?
