David Young, PASupport for a united Ireland has not advanced one step in the quarter-century since the Good Friday Agreement, the leader of the DUP has insisted. “We can only look back over the last 25 years that despite the enthusiastic calls for a united Ireland from some, they haven’t grown the percentage share of nationalist support in Northern Ireland one bit in the last 25 years. “Indeed, the biggest threat to the Union in the last number of years has not been in Northern Ireland. It’s been outside of Northern Ireland, and yet that is settled, you can see support for independence in Scotland dissipating. “They recognise that whenever we were told we could achieve nothing on the Northern Ireland Protocol, we kept at it,” he said.
