About time
He’s selling us to the brits isnt he….
I’m sure as it will be as effective as his plan to solve the housing crisis that is still happening.
More republican than FF. Must be embarrassing to be a member of the supposed Republican Party
This has been needed for years. Better late than never. Northern Ireland demographics are only going one way. It’s a matter of when not if they reach the tipping point and a border poll is triggered. It’s absolutely necessary that when that happens the Irish government has a public position on what unification means so that NI voters know what they’re voting for.
Interesting to learn what concessions he plans on offering to unionists to get them on board
Seen as it’s FG, I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan is to invite the British back to occupy us.
Quality of comments on here in the absolute gutter as per
Delighted to see this, doubly so from such an unexpected source
It would have been unthinkable 30 years ago for an Irish govt to publish something like this (particularly a FG one)
This is exactly the path we should be going down though, creating a framework and preparing for all possible pitfalls etc, rather than just constantly spouting slogans
It’ll be a bit like their housing blueprint, be seen to he doing things but ultimately kick the can down the road until 2100
The comments here are hilarious. People are constantly calling on the government to do exactly this planning. And when it’s announced, it’s immediately dismissed.
Be interesting to see what this contains.
Either way, I’m happy to see this coming from a government party, even if it’s the last party I expected it from.
I imagine that’ll make for very interesting reading.
I’ve always said that I’m going to vote no unless clear, concrete, and unambiguous proposals are put forward for what a United ireland is going to look like, and how it is going to be managed. I’m simply not voting for a “Brexit means Brexit” type of situation where we don’t actually know what’s going to happen.
Fine Gael’s United Ireland will be 35 years late and €3b over budget.
How large is the reunification fund now?
There is a reunification fund, right?
… right?
Slimey Simon
FG and FF have zero presence in Northern Ireland so unification would dilute their vote, making government formation difficult for them. They both have vested interests in the status quo remaining as is. Varadkar used to occassionally come out with stuff about wanting a united Ireland but in concrete terms it was only talk. I’d be surprised if this is anything but more of the same.
It’s the right time for this. Hopefully they don’t balls it up.
Let’s hope it doesn’t die on a waiting list.
We should not be taking in a whole country that would need to transition to how we do things. The cost will be staggering and northern Ireland is nothing but a drain on Britains economy and a pain in their arse. Its just not worth it right now with the state this country is in.
Sure when we are in a better position to do so and a VAST majority of northetn ireland wants to join us then we should think about it but if only a small majority do it would probably just start more violence for us to deal with this time and if one of the most powerful countries in the world couldn’t resolve that fully then what chance do we have.
I’d love to see this, it would be great for discussions on reunification if the government laid it’s priorities on the table and give Unionists the opportunity to give a counter offer.
I know it doesn’t really make much difference effectively, but considering FG is a party of government it would’ve been much better if these types of documents and planning were produced by the government. Not that there’d be much difference in substance but coming from FG makes this a political document rather than an official government document which is more neutral
I guarantee this ‚blueprint‘ won’t mention anything about becoming a country worth joining. Like fixing housing or healthcare.
In the end all unifications will come down to a vote on whether the people will be better off financially.
Could be interesting depending on what’s in it. I’d like to see an actual concrete practical plan on how unification happens I.e. currency changing, the road signs etc.
Before all of that go, I think the first that that really needs to be addressed is what is the question in the referendum I.e what form does unification take. Is it some new country arising which brings its own issues like are we still in the EU? Or, will the referendum in the north be a question of “can the 6 countries join the Republic of Ireland” which means the county just expands.
As for the flag issue, unless we’re changing the flag to the Union Flag, loyalists won’t be happy so fuck en
Great news.
And I have it on good authority that there will be one huge compromise made by the people of the 26 counties.
And that is the removal of all salt popcorn from cinemas and the roll out of sweet.
It will be interesting to see if this headline will be picked up in England much.
Why does he say everything in groups of 3? In this short article alone:
1) “ politically, economically, and societally.“
2) „fiscal implications, public services and the economic opportunities“.
3) „seriously, responsibly, and respectfully“
4) „slogans, sentimentality, or simplistic assumptions“
5) „carefully, honestly and inclusively“
6) „informed, inclusive and grounded in reality“
7) „leadership, planning and patience“.
Absolutely, positively, bizarre.
Why do we want to integrate a bunch of violent racists again?
Tempering my expectations. I’ll believe it when I see it
United Ireland before GTA6
Lol, not a chance this happens.
I really welcome this and I’m glad it’s being done to give an idea of what it could look like.
While I’m personally in favour of reunification, and after reading the excellent *The Case For and Against a United Ireland by O’Toole and McBride*, the most important thing is that it’s an informed decision. The most important thing is to avoid a Brexit style uninformed vote.
More ideas on what a United Ireland would look like are always welcome.
