	United Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A United Ireland is the common demand of Irish nationalists, envisaging that the island of Ireland (currently divided into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) be reunited as a single political entity.
		Under the Anglo-Irish Treaty the Irish Free State became in 1922 the name of the state covering twenty-six counties in the south and west, replacing the Irish Republic, while six counties in the northeast remained within the United Kingdom under the 1920 Government of Ireland Act.
		Currently about 40% of the Northern Ireland electorate vote for Irish nationalist parties that oppose the union with Britain and support a united Ireland as an alternative, although as many people vote along religious lines it is difficult to take this figure as a direct indication of levels of support for a united Ireland.

		Irish History: A talented young historian's view of the extraordinary metamorphosis Ireland underwent in the 20th century, writes Richard English.
		Protectionist economics, pervasive Catholic orthodoxy and devotion, the assumption of a somehow imminent Irish reunification and the belief in the restoration of the Irish language to dominance - all are now effectively dead, and yet (or therefore?) Irish nationalism has retained its confidence, buoyancy and momentum.
		Yes, Irish cultural accomplishments were often impressive, and the achievement of democratic stability in independent Ireland was a great achievement.

		The importance of the Irish question is increased manifold by the presence in America, England, and Australia of millions of Irish proletarians, whose attitude toward our movement is largely dependent upon our position on Ireland.
		The demand of the Irish that Britain withdraw her garrison from Ulster is not the demand for the self-determination of an oppressed people; it is a demand for a hunting license to shoot Protestants.
		Irish revisionism has driven the British population into the arms of Toryism: only the Tories can be counted on to block reunification.

		Somewhere between suggestions for integration into Britain and Irish reunification stand proposals for repartition along the major demographic divides in the west and southwest of the province, the independence of Northern Ireland from both Britain and the Republic of Ireland, and joint authority of both states over Northern Ireland.
		As neither the Northern Ireland Executive nor the British government sought clarification from the Irish government on this issue, the SDLP's interpretation of the new constitutional arrangements--that they were merely transitional on the road to Irish unity--was significantly strengthened and fears within the unionist community about the constitutional future of Northern Ireland were compounded.
		Following a joint declaration by the British and Irish prime ministers in 1993, a number of confidence-building measures were introduced, leading to cease-fires by the major paramilitary organizations that did not cover a specified period of time, as they had in the past, but seemed, if not permanent, at least longer-term.

		The Irish Government should be initiating and sustaining a planned programme of all-Ireland social and economic development which aims to remove the obstacles created by partition, strengthen the links between the people in all parts of the island and integrate the economy and society.
		A Minister of State should be appointed by the Irish Government with the dedicated and specific responsibility of driving forward and developing policy options and strategies to advance the outcomes of the Green Paper and to direct and coordinate the Government’s all-Ireland policies.

		In our country which values the family and recognises its ‘inalienable and imprescriptible rights’[4], family reunification policy and procedures should be fair and just and in accordance with relevant EU Directives, while taking account of diverse cultural and societal norms.
		In the development of Immigration and Residence policies, in accordance with our responsibilities under the Irish Constitution and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, it is essential to ensure that the welfare of children is one of the paramount considerations.
		Ireland has the potential to be a microcosm of how the world could be if ‘the other’ were to be treated as an equal, not by merit of their economic contribution but rather as a person with intrinsic human rights.

		During World War II it sought to organise the Irish people who were streaming into Britain's war-time industries by urging them to join trade unions and bring their influence to bear on the politics of the country they had moved to.
		He held that the near million-strong Irish community in Britain, if organised, could be a powerful influence on British politics, to their own benefit and that of the country they had come from.
		In the l970s and l980s his political work in Britain was concerned with the effects on the Irish community of such measures as the Prevention of Terrorism Act and with lobbying in labour and trade union circles for the adoption by them of a policy of supporting Irish reunification.

		This argument can be criticised on the grounds that the British government sees the province as a place apart and different from the rest of the United Kingdom, conceding even that it would agree to Irish reunification if a majority of the population in the North wished so.
		Irish affairs are source of problems and troubles, so the imperative is to avoid as much and as long as possible any direct involvement in the affairs of the province.
		The Irish government, in its weakest position for many years, looks likely to continue to behave as if a junior partner in the peace process, allowing British officials to set the agenda while it concentrates on the EU presidency.
