88: Conor Devine on how Brexit could lead to Irish reunification

Will Brexit leave Northern Ireland so bankrupt its citizens will want a reunified Ireland? With Article 50, the repeal bill and the small matter of a general election taking the focus over the past few months, much has happened since Belfast businessman Conor Devine joined us for Episode 43. Conor explains how a stand-off between Sinn Fein and the DUP has left Northern Ireland devoid of an executive and in a state of “paralysis” and he how he fears the thought of direct rule from Westminster. All against the inexorable advance towards Brexit that will make the £1billion handed to the Tories to the DUP for a coalition deal in the election made to feel like chump change compared to the annual £10billion black hole threatened by the European exodus.#Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #ConorDevine #Ireland #Reuinification #Scotland #devolved #article50 #business #economy #westminster #government #conservatives #tories #SinnFein #DUP
