So uhh, about that Irish Unification of 2024?

https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/02/03/for-the-first-time-an-irish-nationalist-will-lead-northern-irelands-government/
Sinn Fein Vice President Michelle O’Neill was named first minister in the government that under the terms of the 1998 Good Friday peace accord shares power equally between Northern Ireland’s two main communities — British unionists who want to stay in the U.K., and Irish nationalists who seek to unite with Ireland. [...]

“This is a historic day which represents a new dawn,” O’Neill said. [...]

O’Neill will share power with deputy first minister Emma Little-Pengelly from the Democratic Unionist Party. The two will be equals, but O’Neill, whose party captured more seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly in the 2022 elections, will hold the more prestigious title.
