Majorities in North and South favour planning for Irish unity

More than a third of voters in South say it is extremely important to plan for a possible united Ireland

Majorities of voters in both Northern Ireland and the Republic think that it is important to plan for the possibility of Irish unity, according to the latest polls for a major research project in both jurisdictions.

Almost two-thirds of voters in the South think that it is somewhat or extremely important to plan for a possible united Ireland – with more than a third (36 per cent) saying it is extremely important.

In the North, 60 per cent of all voters say that it is somewhat or extremely important to plan for the possibility of unity, while 36 per cent say that it is extremely important.

Unionist voters in the North are able to distinguish between a desire for unity and what they see as the advisability of preparing for the possibility.
