It is posited here that
a solution to the protracted Irish problem will be to seek a reunification of
the Ulster province, rather than a united Ireland. There are many reasons why
full reunification of Ireland may never happen. A solution to bring lasting
peace would be for the Irish republic to cede the remaining counties of Ulster
back to Ulster. This return of land would be predicated on England renouncing all
claims to any parts of the Irish island.
This would leave a nation made up of
the 9 historical counties of Ulster. These are the Antrim, Armagh, Down,
Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone Counties, currently a part of the United
Kingdom. As well as the Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan counties, currently a part
of the Republic of Ireland.
Ulster could then
establish a Socialist republic that was non-sectarian in nature. This would
allow the Ulster Scots culture to remain protected, alongside Irish culture,
after the withdrawal of the British Crown.
The flag of this
republic is the historical flag of Ulster which both sides of the conflict have
an affinity too.
