🚨Sinn Fein's historic result significantly increases likelihood of Irish unity referendum

🚨“Sinn Fein held its 7 seats & will now pile pressure on the new Labour government to set a timeline for a referendum on Irish unity”

🚨It’s now time for action https://t.co/YWPqAS4Vr2

[BXL-Irish Unity @BXLirishunity]

Irish unity supporting parties now represent the largest political group at a local level, the assembly and Westminster. The result of #GE2024 further signals the shifting electoral ground of constitutional politics in NI.

"Cost of Irish reunification overblown and benefit underplayed
If done properly, redistribution will be from rich to middle and poor, not from the South to the North", according to experts from the ARINS project.

On a day that changed the EU forever - Seamus Heaney, a poet from Northern Ireland, was called upon to speak on the symbolism of EU enlargement.

🗣️ Listen below to this special recital of his poem from that day “Beacons at Bealtaine”

On 1 May 2004, 🇮🇪 hosted the Day of Welcomes to celebrate the accession of 🇨🇾, 🇨🇿, 🇪🇪, 🇭🇺, 🇱🇻, 🇱🇹, 🇲🇹, 🇵🇱, 🇸🇮 & 🇸🇰 to the 🇪🇺

Watch as ‘Beacons at Bealtaine’, Seamus Heaney's commissioned poem, is performed in the national languages of those 10 States.

Belfast’s next Mayor is likely to be @micky_murray - the first openly gay holder of that role #equality

[Suzanne Breen @SuzyJourno]

EXCLUSIVE : An Alliance councillor is set to make history as Belfast’s first openly gay Lord Mayor. “As a schoolboy who was badly bullied because of my sexuality, I never thought I’d have the privilege of serving in a role like this,” says Micky Murray.
