The Irish Passport

A United Ireland

<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-irish-passport/id1246162545?mt=2"></a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/theirishpassport"></a>A United Ireland: the idea has been a political force in Irish and British politics for centuries, and it has been given fresh momentum by Brexit. Tim Mc Inerney explains how the concept long pre-dates the partition of the island and was once championed by Protestant elites. Naomi O'Leary visits a public meeting about unification in central Dublin, and asks why it matters to people -- and when they expect it to happen. We hear from expert Katy Hayward on the potential options for Northern Ireland after Brexit, and why she believes talk of a United Ireland should be avoided altogether.
