'This is a big and significant intervention, and a reminder of the internationalisation of interest in the future of Ireland'
The passing of a motion on Irish unity by Australia's ruling Labor Party shows the internationalisation of the issue.
"The Australian Labor Party held its annual conference last week so it's discussed a lot of resolutions and a lot of issues," he said. "What that means is that often this concept of a border poll is often seen as a little bit of a bolt on to to the Good Friday Agreement.[This] is recognising that it's absolutely fundamental to the agreement; it's baked right in there, it can't be a question that's put off forever."Mr Meagher believes kicking the can down the road can only last for so long."This internationalisation of interest in this whole debate is really quite telling.
