I think I've been a breath of fresh air on the whole topic.

It's marvellous to hear that, at long last, the government's beginning to look at preparing for a united Ireland.

Not necessarily a united Ireland, but a united Ireland.

David McWilliams, some months ago, wrote a very good article about that while in his lifetime he would never see a political unification, definitely since the Windsor Framework, there has been, if you like, a monetary or an economic unification of the island.

We're a very small island.

Population a little bit over 5 million.

There's a duplication of so many different things that Ben has spoken about.

from tourism to hospital services to the data centres.

The excess electricity in the north of Ireland, we don't have at data centres.

It makes so much sense that this small island could blossom if we were united.

And there seems to be a feeling among a lot of people, and not a lot, but certain people in the south, that it's them up there, as if it's some alien place where the people are different.

They're exactly the same.

The difference between Belfast and Dublin is the same as the difference between Dublin and Cork.

It's people get on with their daily lives.

On a small island, it was an artificial border when it was imposed in the 1920s, and it's time for us as a people of an island.

to get together and work for the benefit of that Ireland.

Kevin, can I ask you, when's the last time you were in the North?

The North of Ireland is it?

Donegal is in the North of Ireland.

Wouldn't it be better if we're all united?
