AS the conversation surrounding constitutional change on the island of Ireland continues to gain momentum, three members of the Oireachtas gathered in St Mary’s University College to set out their vision on the important aspects around preparations for a New Ireland. Joining the panel were Labour party’s Senator Marie Sherlock, Fianna Fáil’s Erin McGeehan and Sinn Féin TD Louise O’Reilly. While each representative rehashed their party positions, it was the question and answer session with the audience which bore fruit. It was refreshing to hear Senator Erin McGeehan talk about how the establishment parties in the South need to approach policy with a 32 county mindset and how voters in the North should have a vote in Presidential elections, however I was left wondering how her own party's partitionist policy when it comes to standing candidates in the North fits into her grand view for a ‘New Ireland’.
