A provocative meditation on the prospect of a united Ireland from Alan Gilsenan. With the possibility of a border poll becoming an increasing likelihood, do we really understand what that could mean for all those living on the island of Ireland? Or are we stumbling into some possible future as Britain once sleep-walked into Brexit? With contributions from a powerful array of politicians and political commentators - Leo Varadkar, Bill Clinton, Mary Lou McDonald, Monica McWilliams, John Major, Susan McKay, Bertie Ahern, Fintan O’Toole, Gerry Adams, Linda Irvine, Peter Mandelson and others -  The Irish Question takes a fresh look at the trauma of the past and the unique possibilities of the future.
