Journalists Fintan O’Toole (Irish Times) and Sam McBride (Belfast Telegraph) will give a presentation on their new book, For and Against a United Ireland (Notre Dame Press, 2026), on March 18 at Boston College’s Yawkey Center, Murray Room. Both authors will each argue the case for and against unity, questioning received wisdom and bringing fresh thinking to one of Ireland’s most intractable questions. For and Against a United Ireland was commissioned by the ARINS Project (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South), a joint initiative of the University of Notre Dame’s Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and the Royal Irish Academy. The 5 p.m. event is sponsored by BC’s Irish Institute. Registration is required.
