Well yeah, they don't want unification because they think northern Ireland will become a burden on the republic. Perhaps things will change in the future.

I'm all for the breakup of Great Britain. It'd be nice if NI joined the republic and Scotland became independent... An empire spanning the globe and controling 25% of it reduced to England and Wales. A fitting end.
