everyone knows that GDP per capita for RoI is extremely misleading, as it’s heavily skewed by lots of global corporations domiciling there for Tax reasons. The wealth effectively flows in, and pretty much all flows back out straight away.

Ireland seems better than Northern Ireland

How does the GDP of Ireland look, when you remove Google and the other tax evaders?

It would be interesting to see per capita discretionary income.

Irish economic stats are screwed up because of how they operate.

Honestly I’m surprised at how low the support for Reunification is in the South. I know it’s been decreasing over the last few years (partly because of the growing economic divide), but I’m surprised it’s that low

Population of northern Ireland is 1.9million
And last poll in the South was about 65% for a united ireland.

Does „the Union“ mean a united Ireland or union with the UK?

“In favour of the Union” – weird and confusing wording for this island

In favor of which Union? I can think of three that make sense in this context lol.

Now do cost of living. NI wins that one quite a bit.

[Hmm. There’s no U in unionist](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZWQzNjE1M2YtNjY5ZC00ZDUzLTlkMDYtMWIwMmZlZmMwZDA4XkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_.jpg)
Figures aren’t correct, rage bait….
Shit map. Stats completely wrong on most of these, a quick Google or look at Wikipedia will confirm.
Also “the union” normally means the union of NI with the UK
That border looks pretty good to me.
These seem like old stats? The population of NI is supposedly around 1.9m now, and the ROI about 5.4m.
Over half of outpatients in Northern Ireland have been on waiting lists for over a year compared to 16% in the South
Life expectancy in the South is one year higher for women and three years higher for men. *Healthy* life expectancy is 7-9 years higher in the South.
Median disposable income is nearly 20% higher in the South.
This map is pure bollocks
In favour of the Union is wrong terminology and the numbers are wrong. NI is usually around mid 30’s and ROI is about mid-high 60’s
Being independent vs living under occupation
