The importance of Ireland!

The Queen made much of the importance of the changed relations between Britain and Ireland in her Christmas message to the Commonwealth. This will be further emphasised by the Prime Minister in an interview with the Irish State broadcaster RTE today. Just how important can be gleaned from the article linked here from the Irish Times today. It is titled "Schäuble adamant about EU tax on financial transactions"

In the coming battle for our countries to regain their democracy and autonomy, we will need to stand as equal partners with Ireland one inside the construct planned to be formed by the proposed fiscal compact, and the other without!
