‘BE READY FOR BORDER POLL'

Call for citizens’ assemblies in North & South

JAMES WARD

CITIZENS’ assemblies should be held in the North and the Republic to lay the groundwork for a border poll which could be held in the next decade, a TD has claimed.

Fine Gael’s Neale Richmond will present his new paper Towards A New Ireland at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, tomorrow.

The paper takes an in-depth look at the realities of a united Ireland and the creation of a new state, focusing on areas of government, healthcare, education and the economy.
