I think we certainly had a road to travel - and still do in some ways - but I think we could walk to the Moon and it wouldn't be enough for some. Let's face it: some people have no interest in peace and harmony unless they hold the whip hand.

Proposals to open negotiations;
1) Swapping Belfast for Liverpool, yes even the Wirral. With Ballymena and Bangor as additional sweeteners.
2) Permanent travel ban on Geordies
3) To ease unionist concerns immediate entrance into the commonwealth but only if the oath is taken As Gaelige, pledging loyalty to the pegging prince
4) Harry and Megan to play the Mo Mowlan role, officiate the handover and become Irish citizens.
5) Reparations from the English state for infrastructural development only
6) Reparations from the Vatican for everything to be used to re-home unionists who wish to emigrate
7) ? Property swaps for any English who wish to immigrate with said unionists. There will of course be tryouts Gaelic games, drinking etc
8) Laois, Drogheda and Trinity college to be used as bargaining chips or to trade for any English areas that wish to apply. Tryouts of course will be applicable.

All the while unionism continues to push those types of future voters to Sinn Fein by discriminating against the Irish language. Another Unionist misstep.

And, further to my first point, I'm not sure it's all about the Unionist people either. Plenty of us in the republic have no interest in a doubling of our personal taxation rates just to make Gerry Adams feel more Irish. Who exactly is going to pay for unification? Until the economic realities are honestly addressed, all the sentimental stuff will be looked on with suspicion by people on BOTH sides of the border.
And we’re up and running lol
When Sinn Fein get into government in the Republic then you will see a dicu starting as to what shape a re-united Ireland will take. The growing centre ground parties and more moderate unionists may start to enter into conversations as to how a new Ireland would work. I don’t think anyone feels that Northern Ireland can just be absorbed into the Republic without some major changes.

I was quoting a term used by Prof. Peter Shirlow, University of Liverpool's Institute of Irish Studies.
Colin Harvey (not that one) at Queens Uni has been doing a lot of work into what a united Ireland would look like and how it could be structured.
Successive governments down here have ran a mile from doing any sort of preparatory work, possibly for fear of the response from Unionists or perhaps its just too big a task. There is no question but that it will eventually happen but it will have to be a new Ireland not a supergluing of two separate identities.

United Ireland: why is it not on cards despite Sinn Féin success?
Sinn Féin has called for debate on Irish unification, but many obstacles exist to a referendum on the issue
