If Varadkar really wants a new British-Irish arrangement, he should show some statesmanship
Of course, a united Ireland is a legitimate aspiration and everyone must be free to discuss it. But Varadkar has conceded he should sometimes exercise caution
Initial media reports depended heavily on Dublin’s press release, omitting that London was providing most of the money. Varadkar disagreed, saying restoration was proceeding at “a snail’s pace, if at all” and alternative arrangements must soon be discussed, although he clarified joint authority would breach the Belfast Agreement.
Was there also a subtle downgrade from last Thursday’s comment on expecting a united Ireland to Monday’s “would like to see”? If so, it was a moment of nuance in a blundering mess of a trip to Belfast.
