In an Irish News article dated 29th December 2025, Colin Harvey argues that the public debate on Irish unity, which gathered significant momentum in 2025, now needs to shift toward building broader, more inclusive support for constitutional change. He emphasises that 2026 should focus on engaging people’s real-life concerns, securing consent particularly in Northern Ireland, and developing credible, practical proposals rather than assuming unity is inevitable. Harvey calls for a civic-led, substantive conversation that moves beyond strategy and polls to include voices across communities.
