Motion: Irish Unity

This Council notes that across the country the momentum for Irish Unity is growing.

This Council notes with disappointment the failure of the Irish Government to establish a Citizen's Assembly to debate and discuss our constitutional future and resolves to contact the Irish Government again to convene a Citizens Assembly on this issue.

This Council recognises the need to engage with our constituents on this issue and to explore the potential implications for our Council area. Therefore, this motion calls for this Council to establish of a formal working group on Irish Unity.

The work of this working group should include a consultation process with all stakeholders including community & business groups, trade unions, sporting organisations, LGBTQIA+, health professionals, disability groups, transport organisations and all other relevant bodies and agencies to assess views on all the issues relating to constitutional change.
