Irish Unification: Challenges & Opportunities - Professor Oran Doyle with Professor Brendan O'Leary

The Brexit vote in the UK and its implementation have put the discussion of Irish reunification back on the table. In this conversation, Professor Doyle and Professor O’Leary will explore both the ways in which Irish reunification could occur and some of the most important issues that would have to be addressed in any unified State. What does the Good Friday Agreement have to say? Would there need to be a new Constitution? How could votes in the North and South be sequenced? How could voters be helped to make an informed choice? Should the Stormont institutions continue for Northern Ireland in any unified state? What implications would this have for governance in the North and in the unified State as a whole? Should provisions of the Irish Constitution be amended to accommodate the identity of those from Ulster Scots and Ulster British backgrounds? How might such changes be viewed by other citizens of the newly unified State?
