In one of the closing addresses of the event, Professor Colin Harvey called on all armed groups to disband and to “get out of the way” of Irish unity.“All armed groups in this society need to disband, decommission and give us peace.He added: “I would just reiterate the calls again for the Irish government to establish an all-island citizens’ assembly immediately.”
Collins said that Brexit had made Irish unity “an urgent necessity” and “reiterated the fact that our views didn’t count, we weren’t taken into account”. “The only people I can see who are denying that those conversations are taking place, and the potential of what that can then deliver, is political unionism,” he said.
“All I want is to live in a meaningful, stable democracy that is coping OK – well, even – with the ecological change, that is adapting to food and energy scarcity, that is making climate refugees feel welcome.
