It sounds plausible to anyone who doesn’t know the country well, and in truth, things are heading that way, but it will be a long time before it happens. I mean, a hundred years or more. The Unionists haven’t yet grasped the fact that the British Empire is no longer there, and the economy of Northern Ireland is now a great deal smaller than that of the Republic of Ireland whereas at partition it was the other way around. Unionists would rather flay and set fire to themselves, their spouses and children, than imagine unifying Ireland. Ireland isn’t that keep on adopting a bunch of bigoted, quarrelsome Unionists, either.
