[edit] What if?

You have to wonder what would have happened if the Munster Republic still existed today, with Cork city as the provincial capital. Would a Munster Republic have been economically viable. It certainly would have divided the island of Ireland even more. This would explain why Munster Rugby fans have a greater sense of a common Munster identity. I don't know about most Munster people but whenever anyone from outside Ireland asks me where I'm from I say "Munster" instead of County Tipperary. I'm more proud of the fact that I'm from Munster than from Co. Tipperary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.113.168.128 (talk • contribs).

The so called Munster Republic was never intended to be an independent state. It was a kind of protest by the anti-treaty side - i.e. ok you have your British imposed Free State, but the The Irish Republic is still in existance where pur men are occupying in Munster. It wasn'ta seperatist or even a regionalist thing. It was purely a tactical move by the anti-treaty side in the context of the civil war.Jdorney 00:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
