Irish unity has become an active proposal at Newry Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) despite strong opposition from unionists who refused to have their ‘arms twisted’.
The motion to establish a working group to consult on uniting the island was brought forward by Cllr Barra Ó Muirí (SF).
The Slieve Gullion representative encouraged NMDDC to join fellow councils in Derry and Strabane and Belfast to initiate a process to talks on the reunification of the island after 100 years of partition.
