For over two centuries, the 'Irish question' has dogged UK
politics. Though the Good Friday Agreement carved a fragile peace
from the bloodshed of the Troubles, the Brexit process has shown a
largely uncomprehending British audience just how uneasy that peace
always was - and thrown new light on Northern Ireland's uncertain
constitutional status. Remote from the British mainland in its
politics, economy and cultural attitudes, Northern Ireland is, in
effect, in an antechamber, its place within the UK conditional on
the border poll guaranteed by the peace process. As shifting
demographic trends erode the once-dominant Protestant-Unionist
majority, making a future referendum a racing certainty, the
reunification of Ireland becomes a question not of if but when -
and how. In this new, fully updated edition of A United Ireland,
Kevin Meagher argues that a reasoned, pragmatic discussion about
Britain's relationship with its nearest neighbour is now long
overdue, and questions that have remained unasked (and perhaps
unthought) must now be answered.
