Irish reunification: the costs and other issues - many that haven't even been thought about
Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description
Professor Edgar Morgenroth has recently published a joint paper with professor John Fitzgerald that takes a deep dive into the potential costs of Irish reunification.
We talk to Edgar about his work. We look at lessons from german reunification and the asumptions behind his estimates that it could cost the Irish taxpayer a lot of money. And a lot of sweat and tears.
Planning will be essential. Bad outcomes after ill thought out referendums have historical precedent. Brexit for instance.
