Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

The EU and Irish Unity - Planning and Preparing for Constitutional Change in Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Paul Maskey:

I again thank Mr. Bassett and Professor Harvey for their presentation. I will keep my comments brief to allow others to come in. Within the document, there is considerable mention of dialogue and communication with the different sectors in society. If any lessons have been learned from the Brexit chaos and what we have seen over recent years, that dialogue did not take place among different sectors throughout the islands of Ireland and Britain. Our guests might comment on what lessons have been learned from the Brexit issue and can be taken forward, in case a referendum on Irish unity is ever held.
