Ireland Says It Must Be Ready for Unity Vote
Ireland’s foreign minister says the country must be ready for a possible vote on reuniting with Northern Ireland. The UK prime minister disagrees, saying such talk is off the table. Support for unity is growing, especially among younger people, but recent polls show no clear majority yet. Any vote would follow the Good Friday Agreement.
