Part 1: If an Assembly election were held tomorrow, who would you vote for?

For NI voters only. Anonymous poll. No commentary needed.

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

It’s inspiring to hear young Irish people and our diaspora speak about the historic opportunity that Irish unity represents for their generation.

Sinn Féin’s Irish Unity Bill will be debated in the Dáil on the 7th of July. It is an unprecedented opportunity to begin planning for Irish Unity, and one we must seize.

Together, we are writing the next chapter of Ireland’s story.

This may be the biggest crisis facing the DUP in the history of the party.

Through her reporting and courage, she showed me the importance of asking difficult questions and holding power to account.

30 years ago today, she was murdered for doing just that.

Democracy needs brave people. Veronica Guerin was one of them.

@matthew_shanks1 @LasairDhearg I’m a Republican. if someone painted over a post box and it was described as “Unionist tomfoolery”, many unionists would rightly object to being collectively characterised by the actions of a few. The same principle should apply here.

“Ireland’s still figuring itself out. Maybe that’s the opportunity.
@nealerichmond said, ‘You need to paint what that looks like.’ The Ireland we become won’t simply arrive. It will be imagined, debated, challenged and ultimately built by those willing to have the conversation.”

[Gerry Adams @GerryAdamsSF]

At the SDLP Conference ‘The Future Of These Islands’. A good initiative.

I don’t disagree with the message. In fact, I largely agree with it.

But I do think the framing deserves a little more consideration.

When we speak about “the people of Ireland”, do we mean those resident within the State, or do we also include Irish citizens beyond it?

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

The future of Ireland should be decided by the people of Ireland. Éire nua. Éire aontaithe.

We have a huge opportunity to reunite our country and shape our own future, here at home.

By seizing this opportunity, we can build a new Ireland that works for everyone.

The first step is getting Sinn Féin’s Irish Unity Bill passed in the Dáil on July 7th.

Ag tógáil todhchaí na hÉireann.

Delighted to have Neale on this week.

joins Le Chéile to discuss Fine Gael’s evolving position on a united Ireland, the role of the diaspora, and what preparing for constitutional change might actually look like in practice.

WHAT DOES A FINE GAEL UNITED IRELAND LOOK LIKE?

@JonBurrowsMLA I would lean towards this post being used as a “hopeful” reach
