Poll: Are you more familiar with Paris and Berlin or Belfast and Derry?

Taoiseach Simon Harris said people of his generation are more familiar with Paris and Berlin than Belfast or Derry.

YESTERDAY, TAOISEACH SIMON Harris said people of his “generation” are “more familiar” with Berlin and Paris than they are with Belfast or Derry in the North.

Harris was addressing the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly, in what was his first time speaking as Taoiseach at a meeting of Irish and UK parliamentarians.

He told the audience that there is a “whole generation of people who are yearning to be involved in a conversation about the future, in a conversation about how we work together”.

“I’m also, if I’m being very honest, of a generation where people are more familiar now with London and Berlin and Paris than they might be with Belfast or Derry,” he added.

So today we want to know: Are you more familiar with Paris and Berlin or Belfast and Derry?


Poll Results:

Paris and Berlin (4135)
Belfast and Derry (3382)
I know them all equally (1325)
