Northern Ireland government is an utter mess, the two useless cretans in Stormont couldn't tell their arse from their elbow. McGuinness and Paisley got on better than those other two and they had every reason to hate each other.

Northern Ireland also has loads of inter UK travel every day, I know people who were at some points commuting from London to N.Ireland.

There's more flights (and capacity) between London and Dublin than between London and Belfast.

Yeah, agreed.

I didn't want to get into a whole explanation for someone, just to make a point about density not being the primary driver in this case (although it definitely has an impact).
