By The Left ... Right March Anthony McIntyre 30/5/2002 What will Sinn Fein and its five TDs in the new Dail bring? Part of the election hype was that the party would request the new government to take seriously the question of Irish unity and introduce a green paper on how this is to be achieved in the context of the Good Friday Agreement. As if a paper because it is green will have any bearing on future unity; as if there is anything in the GFA that was not in Sunningdale which sets the context for a united Ireland; as if any Dublin government's interest in the North has ever extended beyond pacifying it as a means to halting the spread of our virus of instability into the South. Because the British and unionists ultimately defeated republicanism on the core philosophical question of consent, the incoming Dublin government is irrelevant in terms of what it may do to bring about unity.

ROISIN DE ROSA investigates. Comments: 7:30:23 PM
