Yeah it's definitely a bit early to do this now.
Especially as a border poll will come with a 100s of pages booklet and a supermajority rule.
Peter Robinson also made some "Lads it's gonna happen" sounds a few years back.
A no deal Brexit may really force the issue..
Cross border lane sounds good, more NI greenways coming too.

If you went back a decade or two and told people that in the future, Ian Paisley's son would be encouraging NI residents to get Irish passports you'd be laughed out of the country, and yet here we are: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/unionist-ian-paisley-jr-mp-constituents-apply-republic-ireland-eire-passports-a7102761.html
No idea to be honest, will likely be fine in the end. Mostly just a pain regarding travel via car, green cards and whatnot. Though there's due to be a cross-border cyclepath completed next year which will allow me to cycle to a bus or train station across the border and get up to Belfast that way.
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if my work went down the route of fully WFH though.
Agreed, but I still think we're a good decade or so away from getting away from the SF/DUP stranglehold. Unless it starts happening consistently across both sides, I imagine there'll be a lot of "If we stop voting for SF/DUP, then DUP/SF will take over!"
