(Source: Wikimedia Commons)One in four people in the Republic believe there will be a united Ireland within the next ten years, according to a new poll published today.
A survey conducted by Amárach research for the European Movement, found half of those surveyed in the North believe a united Ireland will happen by 2033.
It also found support for Ireland's continued membership of the EU stands at 88 per cent, one of the highest approval ratings in the European Union.
Noelle O'Connell of the European Movement in Ireland says the most surprising finding is that people in the north have greater trust in the EU than the UK government:
"In Northern Ireland, 44 percent of people trust the EU, 34 percent of them trust the Irish government, whilst 22 percent of them trusted the British government."
"So regardless of whether people voted remain or leave, 44 percent of people in Northern Ireland trust the EU versus 22 percent trusting the British government."
