Cost of united Ireland would be just ‘€3bn in first year’ and disappear within a decade irishnews.com/news/politics/…

Great discussion with Sam McBride on The Nolan Show, BBC this morning, on our new report with UlsterUniversity EPC on the cost of a united Ireland. Hopefully it is on a podcast later all-islandeconomy.com/analysing-the-… bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00…

Steve, report says pensions will be negotiated. Other figures are clear cut, and include all exp. My view is that cancelling UK pensions is a political non-runner, but as Newton says South can afford it either way - it pushes out a growth-led break-even to between years 8 & 14.

I will be be raising this important report on a United Ireland in the Dáil shortly. Its time for the Government to set out what they are going to do to start planning and preparing for a United Ireland!

United Ireland would cost Irish taxpayer €3bn in the first year, study finds. “Much commentary on the Northern Ireland subvention fails to look at the detail of how it is constructed,” - Prof John Doyle, VP for Research at DCU. Read in Irish Examiner: launch.dcu.ie/3I95Uxz

I think the evidence is that this is largely true for the great majority. People believe the economics that suits them. However I think it is probably more significant for that 16% to 18% in NI who are either genuinely undecided, or open to change.

Irish unification would cost €152m annually to give Northern Irish civil servants pay parity, report says irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…. Report here. all-islandeconomy.com/analysing-the-…

Both health systems North & South are failing people, but in Dublin I have an app on my phone and can book a routineGP appointment with 24 hours. While I pay, 50% of people do not and everyone books the same way with the same access.

“Ban on Palestine Action intellectually bankrupt politically unprincipled and morally repugnant” my speech in House of Lords parliamentlive.tv/event/index/ff…

Eoin you are right on the costs. 25b is bonkers. No economist uses GDP in Ireland, GNI* is the equivalent. Puts Defence exp. around 0.5%. First steps are a pay rise & military housing so we can get the ships we bought out to sea, and keep planes in air. Probably = 1%. Then equip.

I agree. These comments are sectarian. The biggest factor in the North South difference is the transfer test in NI, not working class attitudes. Spending also but the “11+” is a social disaster.

Just to clarify. €152m extra each year for 15 years is to equalise all public servant salaries. Doctors, nurses teachers etc. not just civil servants. Cost covered by growing economy. Detail in report is here all-islandeconomy.com/analysing-the-… irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…
