Ireland vs. Northern Ireland : two nations, one island

Épisode de The Core par The Core · 30 novembre 2025 · 16 min

Dive into one of Europe’s most complex and captivating stories as we explore the deep-rooted divide between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

In this episode, we unpack centuries of history, from colonisation and partition to the Troubles and the Good Friday Agreement, and connect them to today’s pressing questions around Brexit, identity, and the possibility of reunification.

Through historical insights, political analysis, a closer look at evolving cultural identities, and guided by the perspectives of Cathal McCall, Professor of European Politics and Borders, Dominic Bryan, Professor of Anthropology at Queen’s University Belfast, and Sean O’Driscoll, student of economics and entrepreneurship, we shed light on how one island came to hold two distinct narratives.
