Have the DUP and UUP switched?

There is an article on UKIP.org that says they are taking the Euro.
Is this the case?

UK Independence Party - UKIP warns Ulster over pro-EU moves

It wouldn't surprise me if Paisley promoted the Euro. He'd have a reason for doing so!

This is a reserved matter!

The NI Assembly cannot adopt any foreign currency ~ which is what the Euro is ~ unless and until it has had a referendum, as specified in the Belfast Agreement, and become independent of Great Britain.

Thats absolute rubbish,the article you quote says nothing of the sort.

I was in a bar in Enniskillen a couple of years back where they accepted Euros. It could become more widespread without becoming official.

I didn't mean it in the sense of making it the currency. I meant it in the sense of accepting EU hegemony.

Then thats what you should have said in your post.

Raymond Finch · 12-01-2008, 07:26 PM

Nor did I say they were making it the currency.
It made perfect sense to me.

Hartlepool · 12-01-2008, 07:40 PM

It wasn't clear,but it was easy to be mislead by the post,as I have said earlier.

Many people in the Irish Republic who live close to the Northern Irish/UK border travel to Northern Ireland to do their shopping because it is cheaper to shop in that part of the UK because the euro is not in formally in use and has not pushed up prices as it has done in the Irish Republic.
