Description
A United Ireland: Why Unification Is Inevitable and How It Will Come About Kevin Meagher argues that Britain's relationship with its nearest neighbour is now long overdue for discussion. As demographic trends erode the Protestant-Unionist majority in Northern Ireland, making a future referendum a certainty, the reunification of Ireland becomes a pressing question. The Good Friday Agreement carved out a fragile peace from the Troubles, but Brexit has thrown new light on Northern Ireland's uncertain constitutional status. With its place within the UK conditional on the border poll guaranteed by the peace process, Northern Ireland is in an antechamber, waiting for its future to be decided. In this updated edition of A United Ireland, Meagher makes a compelling case for reasoned discussion about Britain's relationship with Ireland. A thoughtful exploration of the complexities surrounding Northern Ireland's constitutional status, this book provides a timely and necessary examination of the path forward for reunification.
