This would create some unrest and i think we have already enough unrest. I pass.
No.
So that would be both the EU and Ireland openly admitting that democracy in NI and the GFA no longer matters? That would be monumentally moronic.
This is why you don’t ask random members of the public for opinions and then dress it up as a legit article. Jeez, and I thought UK papers were shameless.
Why? It doesn’t make any sense to force the issue, especially when the majority of Northern Ireland don’t want it
The moment the public both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland show majority support for that – yes.
Until then don’t touch the topic with a barge pole.
Should the U.K. include “letting Russia role over the EU eastern flank” as one of its foreign policies?
How about you prioritise a united Cyprus… an island thats *actually* half occupied

Errr why not just let the GFA run it’s course?
It’s not even an opinion article, It’s a bloody letter someone wrote.
Yes please. Here in England we’re fed up to the back teeth of having to accommodate the whims of the sectarian nutters who insist on killing each other in the name of some war of religion that was fought in the 17th century. Even worse we have to spend tens of billions a year to keep them happy.
So the sooner the Republic takes over the responsibility and the running costs, the better.
Should the EU have as one of its policies the carving up of territory in states outside the EU?
No, probably not.
It’s not up to anyone but the citizens of Northern Ireland.
Good friday agreement and all that. It’s definitely also not the business of GB, much as it rankles with them 😉
Just try It violence will start .
Ireland has never been united except under British rule. Its not an occupied state. So I guess the logical solution would be to fuck off.
LMAO
🤣 amazing lengths people go to bait Reddit. Top quality shit posting.
It is too obvious intentional trolling, though if Ireland wants to push it, fair enough…
So get the Brits out and EU in? What’s the point of that
The mask slips the UK doesn’t want ECJ in N.I the EUs tactics are funny.
why would that be an EU thing to do?
the ROI gave up its claim on NI as part of the good friday agreement
so trying to claim it again…
This isn’t even a policy in Ireland. Ireland is open to a United Ireland but only under the GFA if the people of NI want it. Ireland does NOT actively work towards a united Ireland and just prepares incase NI decides it wants it.
This article is just shit stirring click bait.
As part of the Good Friday Agreement, Ireland amended its Constitution to remove any claim to Northern Ireland in perpetuity.
The only way Northern Ireland re-unites with Ireland is by the democratic decision of the people of Northern Ireland : no-one else gets to make that decision for them and no-one gets to tell them that they have to vote if they aren’t ready to make that decision.
(Obviously Ireland would have to vote to accept the reunion, but that won’t be a problem).
You dont want a free scotland or wales but want a united ireland is on this sub?
The only time Ireland was ever United was not when you think it was.
Only if both Irish and Northern Irish want.
Terrible letter to the editor piece, I’d rather have no foreigners interfering. The conditions for a united ireland are laid out in the GFA between Ireland and the United Kingdom. The EU and everyone else should keep their nose out of it as it has been the case so far.
I honestly never see a UI..
In my time spent and working in NI i never really came across staunch “Irish” folks.. Most were Brits or if not, uniquely Northern Irish only..
Maybe the polls say otherwise but i think went it came to the crunch, the people would not want to leave a genuinely great country to become part of a little country under the EU umbrella
