Newton Emerson today outlines the dwindling interest in a united Ireland in the south. Is he right, and if he is why is that?Anything that could be done about it?
President Higgins gets a lash in the Irish Times this morning for that neutrality statement and apology. Had he anything to apologise about?
Is the PSNI working? And if it’s not really working, is that Sinn Féin’s fault? Denis Bradley appears to think so.
Finally, we give a lightning history of the OO, and an author some of our viewers might like to explore. We are SO good to you people…
Jude & Pat,
the European Movement Ireland poll asked one question: 9. Do you think that there will be a United Ireland in the EU in the next ten years.
The question is asking people to look into the future, into the next ten years and make a determination on whether a UI will happen within that period. The question is not do you support a United in the next ten years.
It is a misinterpretation to equate people’s support for a UI now or in the next ten years with their belief it will happen in the next ten years.
