Just less than half of people want Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom while a third support Irish unity, a new survey suggests.
The latest Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey found 48% want the region in the long-term to stay in the UK - broadly the same as the previous year's poll.
Support for a united Ireland rose to 31% in the 2022 survey. The figure was 14% in 2015 before the Brexit referendum but there has been a "significant and steady rise" since then, the study said.
