Repartition of Ireland

The repartition of Ireland has been suggested as a possible solution to the conflict in Northern Ireland. In 1922 Ireland was partitioned on county lines, and left Northern Ireland with a mixture of both unionists, (who wish to remain in the United Kingdom), and nationalists, (who wish to join a United Ireland). As the two communities are somewhat regionalised, redrawing the border to better divide the two groups was considered at various points throughout the 20th century. rdf:langString
