Would a United Ireland Cause Political and Economic Chaos?

17 September - 31 mins
Podcast Series Not so Christian Brothers

Would unifying the 32 counties of Ireland actually work, or would it trigger political, economic, and social chaos?

On this Thursday main episode of the Not So Christian Brothers, Colm Hayes and Justin Caffrey look past the romantic ideals to examine the real-world consequences of a United Ireland. The brothers discuss the financial drain on public services, the political divides of integrating a million unionists, and why major political figures keep shifting the debate. Plus, Justin shares a bizarre story of how a lumberjack photo shoot accidentally built him a niche social media following, and the guys tackle online keyboard warriors and rising global inflation.
