Martin Pushes Shared Island Over Border Poll | Dublin News

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is urging his own party to pause the push for a Border poll, arguing that the Shared Island initiative—already investing two billion euros in cross-border projects until 2035—is a more effective path forward. He believes the past’s divisions are behind us and that most Irish people want peace and progress, not political rehashing. While Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are also weighing in on unity plans, Martin carefully keeps the constitutional debate separate from practical collaboration, ensuring unionists don’t feel sidelined. Real results are emerging: upgraded rail links, new bridges, and canal revamps are turning Shared Island from vision into reality, proving cooperation can deliver tangible benefits across the border.
