"Major Step Towards a United Ireland": As Britain Mourns Queen, Northern Ireland Considers Its Future

We speak with journalist and activist Eamonn McCann about Queen Elizabeth II's legacy in Ireland and the impact of her recent death on the prospects of Irish unification. This comes as King Charles III visited Northern Ireland Tuesday on his national tour commemorating his mother, whose reign oversaw more than 3,600 deaths over three decades in Northern Ireland in fighting between the Irish Republican Army and forces backed by Britain. There is a great confidence among nationalist and republican leaders in Northern Ireland that we are now moving inexorably towards a united Ireland," says McCann, a former member of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
