Connolly, Eileen (2022) The Rules for Holding Referendums on Irish Unity: a response to ‘the perils of referendums: a review’ by Matt Qvortrup. Irish Studies in International Affairs, 32 (2). pp. 179-182. ISSN 0332-1460
Abstract
In spite of its dramatic title, Matt Qvortrup’s review of the University College London led Interim Report from the Working Group on Unification Referendums on the Island of Ireland is measured and thoughtful. The Interim Report itself is an important contribution to understanding the process by which referendums may be called and held on the creation of a united Ireland. Given that this topic is potentially divisive, it is commendable that both the report and Qvortrup’s discussion of it are comprehensive and dispassionate.
