Almost two-thirds of people in Northern Ireland believe Brexit has increased the likelihood of Irish unity, according to the results of a social attitudes survey.
The 2021 results of the NI Life & Times survey, a joint initiative between Queen’s University and Ulster University, also show 48% support for Northern Ireland remaining within the United Kingdom, a decline since 2016.
The survey also suggests that unionist and nationalist identities have become stronger, and the proportion of those who are neither unionist nor nationalist has decreased since 2018.
