The Partition of Ireland talks programme in partnership with 
Talk 3
Episode 3 - The Partitionist Mentality
This talk will look at the border question from the southern Irish perspective and the extent to which the issue of a hard mental border has, for decades, underlined the gulf between the rhetoric associated with achieving Irish unity and the reality of practical and political disengagement or avoidance of the issue.
It will examine various examples of this over the course of the century 1920-2020 as revealed in particular by state papers in the Republic, and also reflect on the persistence of tensions between southern and northern nationalists on the question of a united Ireland.
