IRELAND'S RIGHT TO UNITY THE MAP There is a majority of 80 per cent in the whole of Ireland for unity. A minority opposition to national freedom was made the excuse by Britain, who organised and sustained it, for the partition of Ireland in 1920. That opposition comes mainly from an area, marked orange on the map, which is roughly within a 30 miles radius of Belfast. The area is just over one-third of the partitioned territory and is only one-sixteenth of Ireland. Outside it, there is a continuous block from the extreme south to the extreme north with a majority for unity. Within the partitioned area itself there is a majority in almost two-thirds of the territory for re-union with the rest of Ireland. << NEXT >> |
