Roy Garland argues that there are more ways than one for the peoples of Ireland to get together than out and out political unification of the island. Already the Council of the Isles , he argues, “has the capacity to transcend petty squabbles and usher in a new era of goodwill and cooperation on an unprecedented scale. Northern Ireland as a political entity can continue to exist, but in a dynamic relationship with an Irish state and a devolved Great Britain”.
