Mark Daly: I thank Professor O'Leary for joining us all the way from the United States. I will leave the last word to Professor Alan Barrett. Earlier he referred to T.K. Whitaker. The latter wrote a memo to the then Taoiseach on 11 November 1968 on this very topic of the issue of reunification. In it he said: We were, therefore, left with only one choice, a policy of seeking unity in Ireland by...

It is an all-island body and includes the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies...

Mark Daly: I thank Mr. Thumann for his insight into the only benchmark we have for reunification. No two unification processes can be compared. The circumstances of Cyprus, Korea, Germany and Ireland are vastly different but the theme coming across is the requirement for planning. I am reminded of the fact that West Germany had a Ministry for reunification from 1949 and that, despite 50 years of...
