As for that last bit about when Dub was 10 and BFS Nothing, i mean do we really have to categorize people on here into Northerners and Southerners, that is just nonsense from a bygone era, we live in an economic world folks. AGAIN, my post is just my own assessment and I don't begrudge Dublin its successes
I didn't intend to categorize people but in the political landscape its exactly what we are.
There obviously is something stopping Stormont from doing it, otherwise they would have done it already. Politics being what they are here it could be any number of things. Someone above has indicated that the Scottish fund was a non-starter too...
I expect its more a case they don't know a way to make up the lost revenue from the tax as if it was scrapped they would have to make savings to that exact amount.
