Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-17
============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

The Irish Government has an obligation to plan and prepare for the Border poll that is promised in the Good Friday Agreement. The Government has the necessary resources to undertake the research on what a new Ireland, a new Ireland that is a warm house for all, would look like in areas such as health, education and housing. It is legitimate to promote the idea of reunification of the island - it should not be seen as negative to use that phrase - and to have a clear vision of what the new Ireland would look like-----
