Description

  • 'Many people in the south have no northern friends'
  • Some clinging to the NHS... but people live longer under Republic's system
  • How can you argue for and against anything at the same time?


The ‘conversation’ on a united Ireland is now constant, whether it's wanted or not. Despite unionists and others saying campaigning for a border poll is not appropriate, nationalists continue to push for it. Sam McBride and Fintan O’Toole are amongst the island of Ireland’s best-known journalists. They have written a new book entitled ‘For and against a united Ireland’, in which they both write a chapter making the case for and against unity. 

They joined Ciarán Dunbar.
