For over two centuries, the 'Irish Question' has dogged British
politics in one form or another - Northern Ireland's 'Troubles'
being perhaps the bloodiest manifestation. And although the past
twenty years have seen intensive efforts to secure a devolved local
settlement via the Good Friday Agreement, its principle of consent
- which holds that the country cannot leave the UK without a
majority vote - has meant that the constitutional status of
Northern Ireland remains moot.Remote from the UK mainland in terms
of its politics, economy and societal attitudes, Northern Ireland
is placed, in effect, in an antechamber - subject to shifting
demographic trends which are eroding the once-dominant Protestant
Unionist majority, making a future referendum on the province's
status a racing certainty. Indeed, in the light of Brexit and a
highly probable second independence referendum in Scotland, the
reunification of Ireland is not a question of 'if', but 'when' -
and 'how'.In 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.
