Daily: FUTURE IRELANDS – Northern Ireland special edition

<p>Will Brexit really lead to&nbsp;Ireland reunifying and leaving the Union, in a final irony for English nationalism? In a special edition on the future of the island of Ireland we talk to <strong>Neale Richmond</strong> (Fine Gael TD for Dublin Rathdown), Ulster Unionist Party MLA and former leader <strong>Mike Nesbitt, </strong>and <strong>Claire Hanna</strong> (SDLP MP for Belfast South). Is the rancour finally leaching out of Northern Irish politics? Will a European identity trump a British one?Is a border poll really coming? And what do people in the Irish Republic really think of Boris Johnson?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><em>“Sinn Fein are the greatest force against a united Ireland.” –&nbsp;Neale Richmond</em></p><p><br></p><ul><li><em>“I am an Ulsterman, but I’m also Irish, British, and European…if you were to deny me any part of that mixture, you will diminish who I am.” –&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Mike Nesbitt</em></strong></li><li><em>“It’s not the territory that’s divided, it’s the people.” – </em><strong><em>Claire Hanna</em></strong></li><li><em>“The UK leaving the EU means the greatest vehicle for co-operation on the island of Ireland is ending.” –&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Neale Richmond</em></strong></li><li><em>“The government in Westminster wants to possess Northern Ireland like a toddler wants to possess a toy.” –&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Claire Hanna</em></strong></li><li><em>“Sinn Fein are the greatest force against a united Ireland.”</em><strong><em> –&nbsp;Neale Richmond</em></strong></li><li><em>“We need to get away from the idea that we're pure Brit or pure Gael, because very few of us are.” –&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Mike Nesbitt</em></strong><em>&nbsp;</em></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><em>Presented by Naomi Smith.
