John Finucane – 2022 Comments on Support for Irish Unity

The comments made by John Finucane, the Sinn Fein MP for North Belfast, on 22 August 2022.

Yet another poll shows growing support for Irish unity across the island, particularly among young people.

The reality is that conversation on the constitutional future of our island is to the fore of political discourse like never before.

Planning and preparation must start now.

The Irish government should lead those preparations by immediately establishing a Citizens’ Assembly on Irish unity to help shape the new Ireland.

Sinn Féin will begin a people’s conversation from October. We want to hear from everybody on their views on the future.

The onus is on the Irish government to prepare for referendums and reunification without any more delays.
