An Overview of a Reunited Ireland

 

The reunification of Ireland will require compromise by the political entities on both sides of the border and an acknowledgement by the British government that the lingering remnants of its colonial rule in Ireland is not conducive to peace.

If the Irish people of all traditions are given options for reunification and the facts associated with each option, they will see that the federal option described on this website is the only one that guarantees the right to equality, unfettered regional control and, regional representation in a national government.  

The federal option proffered herein would organize Ireland's thirty-two counties into a Federal Parliamentary Republic comprised of three distinct regions namely, 1) the Ulster Region encompassing  the nine counties of Ulster, 2) the Connacht/Munster Region encompassing the eleven counties of Munster and Connacht, and 3) the Leinster Region encompassing the twelve counties of Leinster. 

The union of Munster and Connacht into a federal region would lend economic equity and political balance to what would be lacking in a standalone Connacht and to a lesser extent, in a standalone Munster.  

The proposed federation would be underpinned by a new constitution that would provide for the allotment of governmental powers between a national and regional governments. The new constitution would be the nation’s supreme authority that all government entities and the public at large would bear allegiance to.
