26+6=1?
 

I saw this on a bumper sticker for Ireland. Can anyone explain what it means?

26 counties of Ireland plus the 6 counties of Northern Ireland equals a united Ireland.

Thanks. I thought it must be something like that. For any that are interested, Fodors actually has a timeline of Irish history on its destination page for Belfast.

Obviously you didn't see this in Northern Ireland. It is more of a dream for some than others. I'd be satisfied just to see some peace break out.

Nope, I saw it this morning, here in Washington.
