What is Towards a new Ireland : Garret Fitzgerald about?

This important new book on the problem of Ireland has been written by a front bench spokesman for Finance of the Fine Gael (Principal Opposition) Party in the Republic of Ireland. Garret FitzGerald is also a lecturer in economics at University College, Dublin. This book is written from the standpoint of an Irishman who desires the peaceful political reunification of his country, with the consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland. It does not attempt to unravel the events in Northern Ireland since 1969; in fact there are only passing references to these developments. It is concerned rather with the longer-term issue of how the political division of Ireland originated, and has been maintained and even deepened by events in both parts of Ireland for over fifty years, and with the problem of resolving this division in a manner that would enable Protestants and Catholics in the two parts of Ireland to pay common allegiance to a society that both would find acceptable. The main headings of the contents are as follows: 1. Why Partition? 2 and 3. Effects in the Republic, and in Northern Ireland; 4. Economic Differences; 5. The Religious Issue; 6. The Impact of EEC Membership;
