New academic paper on Irish unity in the EU

Commissioned by The Left in the European Parliament, "Making the case for Irish Unity in the EU" is a new study written by Professor Colin Harvey and Mark Bassett Barrister-at-Law.

The report explores the legal mechanisms outlined in the Good Friday Agreement and recognised under international law, for the entire island of Ireland to be re-united within the EU. The report also outlines the steps the EU can take in order to provide for such an eventuality.

MEP Chris MacManus and Sinn Féin Representative to Europe Martina Anderson launched the report in a press conference in the European Parliament Brussels alongside the authors on 15/11/2022.
