It is typically referred to as the “Irish border” problem, but this is really a “British border” in Ireland, existing only because of Britain’s colonial partitioning of the island. Anyway, following a no-deal Brexit, some kind of border checks will be necessary along that unnatural dividing line. Hence, the calls for a “border poll” — a provision of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA), which would see a referendum on Irish unity take place on both sides of the border. Sinn Féin, the Irish republican party most ardently pushing for reunification, has already called for a unity vote to follow a no-deal scenario. Party leader Mary Lou McDonald said this week such a situation would represent a "dramatic change of circumstances" for Ireland, north and south, and it must be given the “opportunity to decide” on its future together. She is right, but Boris Johnson and the Tories naturally have no interest in entertaining any talk of Irish unity, despite the fact that the GFA calls for London to exercise its power in Northern Ireland with “rigorous impartiality” in acknowledgement that changes in its constitutional status can be made only by the people of Ireland.

There will come a day when London simply can’t ignore the calls for a border poll any longer — and Julian Smith or his replacement will be forced to concede the time is right. Whether that happens one year or five years from now, Dublin needs to get real and get the ball rolling. Preparing for a united Ireland will be a long, arduous and highly sensitive process, fraught with division and even the risk of a return to violence. There are too many contentious issues to deal with to continue putting this on the backburner. It won’t just be a matter of figuring out the economic costs and benefits, or dealing with the nightmarish logistics of joining two completely different regulatory frameworks into a new, functioning state. It will involve renewed and gargantuan efforts at trust-building between the two communities in the north and indeed between those communities and the Dublin government. Both sides will need to grapple with broader philosophical questions, too; there has been reluctant talk about the possibility of a new flag and national anthem, for example. There have also been calls for the beginning of an all-island forum on the issue of re-unification and they should be heeded. This is not something we can wander into blind. Without proper preparation, trying to negotiate a new united Ireland in the event of a successful vote for re-unification could end up making Brexit negotiations look like a piece of cake.

The Good Friday Agreement “has to fulfill its potential”, said Martin.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said “there won’t be a border poll before 2030″. Sinn Féin continues to advocate for a border poll on Irish unity before 2030, but when asked about the prospect of it, the Taoiseach said “there’s more to be done” before any such poll could be held. The Good Friday Agreement “has to fulfill its potential”, said Martin, who pointed out that the Legacy Agreement was only agreed with the British government last week. “This British government is working with us in a practical, open, transparent way, and we have a framework now to deal with legacy once and for all. I hope Sinn Féin get on board with this, because this is an opportunity with this British government that may not arise again with a future British government, who knows,” he said. Martin hit out at Sinn Féin stating that over the last decade the party has blown “hot and cold” on the border poll issue, stating that when they pushed for it Brexit, he felt it was “putting petrol on the fire”.

DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has dismissed Sinn Féin predictions of a border poll within 10 years, stating: “We are nowhere near a united Ireland.” Mr Donaldson said Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald must have the “longest arms on this island” to state Irish unity is within touching distance. The DUP gave the green light for the recall of the Stormont Assembly on the back of a deal with the UK government on post-Brexit trading arrangements, following its two-year boycott. Last week, two pieces of legislation contained in the agreement to resurrect devolution were fast-tracked through the House of Commons. Mr Donaldson has said the new arrangements have effectively removed the so-called Irish Sea border for goods moving from Great Britain to, and staying in, Northern Ireland. However, the return of Stormont led to Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill becoming Northern Ireland’s first nationalist First Minister. Party leader Mary Lou McDonald said Irish unity is now within “touching distance” and Ms O’Neill predicted a border poll within 10 years. But the DUP leader told the Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk Radio that he didn’t think “anyone with any credibility believes that this is the case”. He added: “There is nothing to suggest there has been a significant shift in public opinion in Northern Ireland. “All polling data points to a very strong majority in favour of remaining in the UK.

If there is a strong majority in favour of remaining in the UK then Donaldson shouldn't fear a border poll. I believe unionists would win such a poll, but the majority would not be as big as they think. It would give nationalists an idea of how far they have to go, and my guess is; not that far.
