United Ireland could cost up to €25 billion a year, Fine Gael 'blueprint' says
The party’s proposals also include a new junior minister for North-South relations in a dedicated unit within the Department of An Taoiseach and the establishment of a dedicated sovereign wealth fund to deal with the potential costs of transition
Fine Gael’s proposal for Irish unity was published at the party’s Ard Fheis in Cork, according to Slugger O’Toole on Sunday. The Irish Mirror reported that the blueprint estimates a united Ireland could cost up to €25 billion a year, while TheJournal.ie described the figure as a possible cost in the first year. The Irish Mirror also reported proposals for a North-South relations minister and a sovereign wealth fund; the reports do not specify which cost scenarios produce the estimate.
