No offence, but this is load of nonsense.

No offence, but you don't know what you're talking/writing about.
A community that has been in Ireland for up to 400 years is not about to move out because they are not liked by some of their fellow denizens. Ulster Protestants are in Ireland to stay, whether the Nationalists like it or not, and as Unionists form an electoral and demographic majority in the northeast of the island. The fact is that Unionists as an electoral majority in the part of Ireland that they live in want to remain as part of the United Kingdom, that is within the Union (that is why they are called Unionists), regard themselves as British, quite rightly, and nothing but an electoral majority of Nationalists will end the Union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. This, incidentally, is not likely to happen within your or my lifetimes. The Union is constitutionally legal and in statutory force, and Northern Ireland will remain a division of the United Kingdom while it is.
So I repeat, you don't know what you are talking about. No offence.
