SUMMARY:A Conversation with Fintan O’Toole and Sam McBride
DESCRIPTION:On March 18\, 2026\, the Irish Institute of Boston College welcomes acclaimed journalists Fintan O’Toole and Sam McBride for a timely and thought-provoking discussion of their new book\, For and Against a United Ireland (Notre Dame Press\, 2026). \nIn this compelling exchange\, O’Toole and McBride each present arguments both for and against Irish unity. Beginning with the deceptively simple question – “What does a ‘united Ireland’ actually mean?” – they examine the political\, economic\, and cultural implications of constitutional change. From public services\, taxation\, and governance to identity and belonging\, they explore the issue with forensic precision and intellectual clarity. Would unity strengthen Northern Ireland or destabilize it? Would it improve life in the Republic? And could such a transformation occur peacefully? \nThe program will feature a moderated discussion followed by audience Q&A and a complimentary reception. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
