North no longer the priority it once was for governments

Posted by Jim on January 14, 2017

“a variety of factors – not least that the Stormont administration has managed to govern Northern Ireland for the longest period of devolved rule since the 1960s – has meant that the North has fallen down the agenda of both governments in the last decade.”

For those in the north and south who want to see a united Ireland need to change this and be more proactive collectively. It appears since the GFA, a sort of apathy and complacency has set in among a good number of nationalists, some republicans and also to include some within Irish-American activist circles. This spread of apathy and complacency only helps adds to these governments putting the north of Ireland agendas on the back burner.

The GFA copper-fastened British rule in the north and almost 20 years later Ireland is still not reunited and Stormont has collapsed but once again.

The British and Free State governments have been dictating the present and future of the Irish people and the future of their children for far too long.  It’s more than past its time to get a united Ireland back on the agenda and push it all the way until the Irish achieve the self-determination they deserve.

 

The Irish are a kind and generous people who have always stood up for the rights of other oppressed and occupied people around the world. Isn’t it time now, since the failure of the GFA to deliver its promises to the nationalist community, to stand up once again, collectively, and put a final end to their own divided and occupied country?
The power is in the hands of the Irish people.
