Irish unity: Economists likened to climate deniers in Dáil debate

He added: “The fiscal position in year one would, of course, not remain static. Over time, costs and revenues would evolve as both economies adapt, grow and become integrated.

“How these opportunities are managed, and the extent to which these benefits are realised, will be the key determinant of the long-term fiscal impact.

“In other words, these outcomes are not predetermined. They will be shaped by the policy choices we make, the policies we pursue and the decisions we make.”

Last week Harris’ Fine Gael party and his government partners Fianna Fáil voted down a Sinn Féin proposal aimed at planning for a united Ireland.

The focus of the proposal was a citizens’ assembly on a united Ireland, which would have seen 99 citizens get together and debate the pros and cons of Irish unity, with a moderator.

The other part of the law would have put the onus on the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) to come up with a green paper on preparation for Irish unity which would cover topics from the economy to health and housing.
