根據1998年《耶穌受難日協議》,若多數北愛爾蘭選民支持,英國政府有義務召開統一公投。英國脫歐後,北愛爾蘭統一議題的討論度有所上升。
愛爾蘭總理馬丁(Micheal Martin)週五(30日)表示,愛爾蘭政府將成立一個專屬機構,對未來與英屬北愛爾蘭統一的可能性,進行研究與準備工作。
據《路透社》報導指出,馬丁受訪時表示,自英國脫歐以來,推動邊境公投的論述過於偏向單一黨派立場,忽視了各方意見;新成立的機構將深入研擬不同的憲政架構,包含北愛爾蘭繼續留在英國,或是在統一愛爾蘭的架構下維持地方分權實體。
馬丁計畫於今年底前向內閣提出初步方案,而執政同盟統一黨(Fine Gael)亦預計於下週黨代會上發表統一藍圖。
依據1998年簽署的《耶穌受難日協議》(Good Friday Agreement),若多數北愛爾蘭選民傾向統一,英國政府有義務召開公投。儘管目前民調仍以支持留在英國者占多數,但自英國脫歐及主張統一的「新芬黨」(Sinn Fein)大力宣傳,越來越多北愛爾蘭人轉而支持統一。
