Northern Ireland would be better off in united Ireland

Irish incomes and its economy would grow significantly if Northern Ireland were to unify with the rest of Ireland, according to a new international report led by UBC’s Kurt Huebner. The report found a united Ireland would grow its GDP to 32.5 billion Euros in the first eight years of unification.

“Our study underlines the potential of political and economic unification when it is supported by smart economic policy,” Huebner told The Belfast Telegraph.
