Ireland's government says no vote on unity with Northern Ireland will happen before 2030, citing need for reconciliation and consensus.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated on September 29, 2025, that no border poll on Irish unity will be held before 2030, reaffirming the government’s position despite pressure from Sinn Féin.
He emphasized that unity is an executive matter, not a presidential one, and dismissed claims of a "false narrative" around timing.
Martin cited the need for progress on the Good Friday Agreement, including the UK-backed Legacy Agreement, and stressed that political reconciliation and institutional readiness must come first.
He criticized Sinn Féin’s inconsistent messaging on the issue, noting internal polling suggested low public support.
The government maintains that any future referendum would require broad consensus, not political strategy.
