The expiry date Arlene Foster refers to only arises in the event of a majority in NI wanting Irish unity. Is the implication here that there should be no unity regardless of how many in NI desire it. The consent of a majority being required for constitutional change is at the #NorthernIreland #IrishUnity #Politics #GB #IE
Off the table. But for how long? There is provision for a referendum in the Good Friday Agreement which means that the idea cannot be ‘off the table’ indefinitely. #GoodFridayAgreement #Referendum #NorthernIreland #IE #GB
This is a significant breech of the Good Friday Agreement. A foundation stone of the GFA is that the people of the north would decide. The GFA is an international treaty & should be defended by our government. Dont hold your breath... https://t.co/XS6A06MPiX #GoodFridayAgreement #GFA #NorthernIreland #GB #IE
Drumcree was one of the most bitter and dangerous disputes of the 1990s. It fuelled sectarian tension, violence and death. Resurecting Drumcree would be a massive mistake and could put progress in the north back decades. https://t.co/uWpqmrcAr9 #Drumcree #NorthernIreland #SectarianViolence #GB #IE
The collective amnesia on Drumcree is astounding. It was a disaster which ended with 3 children dead after their house was firebombed by the UVF. Talk about legal arguments all you want but the Drumcree march should be left in the past where it belongs. #Drumcree #NorthernIreland #CollectiveAmnesia #GB
Delighted to be here at this historic event to show support for the brave women smashing through the smearing and silencing of women’s rights campaigners in Northern Ireland. #WomensRights #NorthernIreland #Solidarity #GB
Northern Ireland’s Protestant loyalists have long felt their identity was under siege — from the Irish Catholics. Now anti-immigrant ideology has found a new toehold here — this time against not-whites and not-Christians https://t.co/DjyJtURyT2 #NorthernIreland #Loyalism #AntiImmigrant #GB #IE
Credit to @gardainfo for tracking & apprehending those who seek to inflict carnage in Northern Ireland. It is a reminder that, despite the great progress made, there are absolutely no grounds for complacency while extreme elements persist. https://t.co/rn78LV4ccl #NorthernIreland #Security #Complacency #GB #IE
Did he know better than to ask Northern Ireland? Or did he, like most British politicians, forget it exists? #NorthernIreland #BritishPolitics #PoliticalAwareness #GB #IE #NI
I don’t know if or when there will be united Ireland, but it’s not a case of 🇮🇪 wanting it. That makes no difference. It will only happen if the people of NI vote for it. If that happens, then there is no way of avoiding it. The two governments will have to find ways of #UnitedIreland #NorthernIreland #Referendum #IE #GB #NI
Positive results for Northern Ireland. It may be benefiting from its special status via a vis the EU. #NorthernIreland #EUBrexit #PositiveResults #GB #NW #EU
This seems to suggest that the arrangements in the Protocol & the Windsor Framework have benefited Northern Ireland. 👇 #NorthernIreland #WindsorFramework #Protocol
German broadcaster ZDF has removed a misleading introduction from a report that suggested Elon Musk called for migrants to be hunted in Northern Ireland, following legal action from Musk in response to claims he labeled as outrageous lies. #ElonMusk #ZDF #NorthernIreland
Peace on this island rests on the foundations Garret FitzGerald helped to build. Ensuring we are prepared for the future is a fitting tribute to that legacy. In my engagements across Northern Ireland, there is a consistent call for leadership on the future of our island. #Peace #Leadership #NorthernIreland #IE #GB
Clashes erupted near Belfast as police used water cannon to disperse protesters during a second night of unrest fueled by anti-migrant tensions following a stabbing incident that left a man severely injured. #NorthernIreland #Protests #AntiMigrantTensions
The events in Northern Ireland have filled us with horror. I unreservedly condemn the absolutely savage attack on that young person, and the appalling violence that followed. We must stand united in defending the fundamental dignity of every person and the rule of law. https://t.co/uprcIiS8Zg #NorthernIreland #StopTheViolence #HumanDignity #GB

The article discusses how Northern Ireland's legal landscape surrounding human rights, particularly regarding Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, has evolved, with courts imposing stricter limits on its applicability, while a legal expert emphasizes that the government's efforts to render Article 2 unenforceable have ultimately failed, preserving the potential for challenges against primary legislation and government decisions in specific cases. #HumanRights #NorthernIreland #LegalReform #GB #IE
A recent Supreme Court ruling has complicated the ability to use Northern Ireland's Brexit deal for human rights challenges against the government, particularly impacting the application of Article 2 of the Windsor Framework, which ties human rights to EU law, thereby shaping the future of human rights legislation in the region amidst ongoing debates over issues such as trans rights and the legacy of the Troubles. #HumanRights #Brexit #NorthernIreland #GB #NI #EU
