That's what the GFA says. The reality of it is that there would probably need to be a majority of MLAs from parties who would advocate a UI and would also need to be consistent polling in favour of a UI for it to happen. 
It also needs to pass a referendum in the south to happen too.
And that could be the problem.

Niamh Bhreathnach passed away. Her abolition of 3rd level fees has undoubtedly been one of the most progressive and transformative policies of modern times. RIP.

What is the story with all the racist f**kwit marches going on at the moment in Ireland? When did this start? Some Irish version of qanon or something? Absolute f**kin scrotes marching around Dublin yesterday. Beyond embarrassing.

As always Ireland is about 5 years behind. The rest of Europe and the US had all that sh*te in 2015-2019ish and the thickos in Ireland have only just caught on.

I am sure that there are plenty of examples of our asylum program being abused. That, the housing crisis, and the governments mismanagement of the situation are the perfect storm for these movements.

Although there are definitely issues worth protesting over (living conditions, mismanagement, the amount of money hotels, private landlords etc are being given to house refugees while we have our highest ever Irish homeless population). There is an unfortunate racist element and, even worse, people blame the refugees, by protesting outside their accommodations etc which is not on.

Unfortunately the way things are going I see it getting worse and not better.

Is that the chain smoking coke head who does videos from his car? If so, how the f**k are people following him? I can understand people being sucked in by someone who is intelligent and has some charisma but that fella is an idiot.

In fairness he doesn't look like the most intelligent fella so he would easily attract the Anti Vaxx nuts and scum that seem to have nothing better to do with their lives.

Also, a sad conclusion of the ‘Ireland’s a Kip mantra.’
