ARINS – Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South – is a joint academic project of the Royal Irish Academy and the University of Notre Dame in the US, and the North and South series is a collaboration between it and The Irish Times.The research consisted of two major opinion polls, carried out simultaneously in both jurisdictions by Ipsos, among more than 1,000 voters in each. The margin in error is estimated at plus or minus 3 per cent.
Seven out of 10 of the respondents in the South have either not been to the North or been only once in the past five years. Only a minority of southerners have friends or relations north of the Border.
