A United Ireland’s Economy must be based on Equality not Profit

A United Ireland’s Economy must be based on Equality not Profit

There is an ever growing business friendly section of civic nationalism foaming at the mouth at the thought of businesses in the North reaping economic benefits of Irish Unity, more so, accessing the low corporation taxes that are offered in the Free State.

While I have seen a number of these commentators using the past decade of economic “growth” in the south as an argument for Unity, they fail to mention the rising inequality that exists in the 26 county tax haven.

Irish Unity offers us a monumental opportunity to reset and rebuild an all Ireland economy that offers socio economic equality for all its citizens and not just increases in profits for the few.

We must advocate to ensure an all Ireland economy is solidified on strong workers rights and sustainability, while providing an all Ireland state of the art health service, housing, education and welfare system that protects our most vulnerable.

Profit in its very nature is exploitation and inequality. We as Irish Unity activists must strive to secure an all Ireland Republic that doesnt fail the people of Ireland, nor comparable to the current failed states, equality in every regard must make up the fundemental core of our future constitution.
