‘Irish police on loyalist streets?’ Key questions in the Irish unity debate

Who polices loyalist areas in the early days of any united Ireland?

What happens to the health service in both jurisdictions?

Do the unionist arguments against unification still hold?

A small selection of the questions explored by writers Fintan O'Toole and Sam McBride, in their new book in which they both argue both for and against unification.

The authors spoke to Mark Carruthers for BBC Northern Ireland's The View, with Fintan O’Toole first outlining his key argument against a united Ireland.

The View can be watched in full on the BBC iPlayer and there is an extended version of the conversation on the Red Lines podcast on BBC Sounds.
