I agree with Mr. Andrews that we need to have such a discussion. I am not saying a referendum would be held tomorrow. We must play our part by having a full conversation, including on what the new Ireland would look like - the landing zone of a new united Ireland. The idea is that a new entity would be an opportunity to create something new and better. I agree with Mr. Andrews that we should start the conversations as soon as possible. A citizen's assembly or something like it could be a facility on this island that would allow for some of that to happen.
