Does Brexit Make Irish Unity More Plausible?

Join Professor Sir Vernon Bogdanor FBA CBE as he looks at the question of Irish unity and whether Brexit has made it more plausible.

Britain before 1914 was convulsed by the Irish Question. Since the Act of Union of 1800, Ireland had been governed without the consent of the vast majority of Irish Catholics, who comprised around 3/4 of the population. Home Rule was the suggested solution. But there was a second question, the Ulster Question arising from the presence of a large Protestant minority in the north east of Ireland, who rejected rule from Dublin. This lecture asks whether better answers are available today.
