If it is achieved, it won't be the socialist republic so many fought and
died for, it will be a neo-liberal state within an EU which will be much
more federalised than it is today.  Sinn Fein is estimating twenty years
for a united Ireland, in which they see themselves as a dominant party, and
certainly not as the vanguard of socialism some still consider them.
