How To Gael

The first question on everyones lips when we talk about a United Ireland is money. How much will it cost us and how will we pay for it? To give us an overview of what the economics of unity might look like we sit down with Stephen Kinsella Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick and member of the Irish Government's AI Advisory Council and an Economic Advisor to the Tánaiste, Simon Harris.

In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It’s time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions.

 

This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?

In the first episode of our new series, we’re sitting down with Taoiseach na hÉireann Micheál Martin to talk all things shared island, modern republicanism and asking if unity is realistic or romantic?

While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It’s time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland.

Spreagtha ag Verona Farrell, nó @secondhandhuns ar Insta, tá Louise ag iarraidh all things chic a phlé. Ach cad is 'chic' ann? An féidir cur síos a dhéanamh air?

Tá díospóireacht againn faoi na rudaí atá chic agus not chic, dar linne, ar nós matching underwear (chic), espresso martinis (not chic BUT delish), and a red lip (hung jury). Doireann gets an awful touch for her wine fridge, argues for the chicness of iarthar Chorcaí, and somehow butchers the lyrics to TiK ToK le Kesha...

Bain sult as an eip agus bí i dteagmháil linn le hinsint dúinn cad iad na rudaí atá chic, i do thuairim féin!
