Panellists confirmed
Ben Collins
Colum Eastwood MP
Dáire Hughes MP
Kevin Meagher
Chair – Andrea Catherwood
What is The Irish Unity Dividend?
As English Nationalism rises, support for ending Partition rises. As the North languishes in economic and political failure, support for Irish Unity rises more. Across opinion polls support for the Union falls while support for Irish Unity grows.
Last month, SDLPleader Claire Hanna made clear that United Irelanders will no longer wait in silence for movement on the Unity question and called for the establishment of a Ministry for New Ireland to be set up in Dublin Last week, Sinn Fèin leader Mary Lou Macdonald called on the Taoiseach and British PM to acknowledge the definite trajectory towards the end of partition in order to prepare and plan in advance of a border poll.
But what exactly will a United Ireland look like? With perfect timing a new book, ‘The Irish Unity Dividend’, outlines the benefits of Irish Unity. Join us in Westminster this Wednesday evening as former unionist turned United Irelander Ben Collins presents a compelling analysis of the advantages that Irish Unity can bring.
What is The Irish Unity Dividend?
Ben writes that Irish Unity will lead to a society that is fairer, more tolerant and can shed itself of social instability and the burden of a broken British state. Healthcare, economy and relations with Europe will dramatically improve. The political compact between state and citizen will be renewed. But is it really that simple? Will a United Ireland ensure a better life for everyone?
Come along and judge for yourself.
