Abstract
ABSTRACT The paper assesses public attitudes in Northern Ireland towards the potential hardening of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as a result of the UKâs exit from the European Union. It investigates the relationship between border-related anxieties and support for a United Ireland. The study draws on specially designed qualitative and quantitative data, generated from a one-day citizensâ assembly and a representative attitude survey. It identifies a group of conditional Catholics who support Irish unity, but only under âhard exitâ conditions.
