Colin Graham @19acres normally presents the My Identity podcast for @ArinsProject and has done so much to facilitate greater North / South understanding. Tonight he launched his memoir of an 1980s East Belfast childhood and his long journey to @MaynoothUni School of English.

Very interesting morning so far at @CCBSCrossBorder 'Creating, strengthening and retaining talent on the island of Ireland'.
Lots of thoughtful, necessary discussion on cross-border student mobility.

Northern nationalists are right to detect bias from their counterparts in the Republic

"But here’s the thing. None of this around-the-clock pantomime from the NIO and Downing Street makes a darn bit of difference when it comes to a border poll.
"The GFA may say that it is a secretary of state who makes the call on the poll, but that’s a nonsense. There will be no poll unless and until the British and Irish governments make the joint call."

Senator Michael McDowell believes that Andy Burnham is right. Holding a poll to test the waters on unity should be off the table

Isn’t there a prior stage @LeoVaradkar ? Devise, define and debate the model(s) that underpin the “project” and seek to build understanding of the options and trade-offs involved? @ArinsProject has started but much more is needed before your stage 1
Interesting, timely intervention by UK former PM Gordon Brown. I don't agree that a united Ireland is "inevitable'' if only because history teaches us that nothing is inevitable in politics! I do believe it likely - demographics and geopolitics bends toward it. But, we have to work for it and not assume it can happen organically or by osmosis. I do agree with Brown that it will be a 'long process'. Stage 1 - build a stable majority in the North and greater understanding of the project in the South before a referendum takes place. Stage 2 - win the referendum. Stage 3 - transition and integration of the two jurisdictions. It will take decades. And yes, there will always be other pressing issues to be resolved - and resolved they should be. This is much much bigger than that - the political project of our generation. Building a New and Agreed Ireland. Éire Aontaithe. Let's do it.
