    More people identify themselves as Irish than British in Northern Ireland according to a new poll in Monday's Belfast Telegraph.

    Over 1,000 people were interviewed for the survey.
    A total of 42% of those surveyed told the pollsters they were Irish while 39% identified themselves as British. 18% saw themselves as Northern Irish.


    The poll suggests that if a referendum was held now, a majority - 55% - would vote to stay in the UK.
    However, those interviewed were evenly divided over whether Northern Ireland would still be part of the UK or part of a united Ireland by the year 2021.

      It's Maire Drumm and the IRA field brothel.

      She's the only woman I know who went into the Mater hospital for eye surgery in late 1976, and ended up with lead poisoning.
      I was on footsie in the Crumlin Road when it happened. Happy days.
