What did Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael promise on the constitutional future of our shared island? https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2020/0414/1130311-politics/">https://www.rte.ie/news/poli...

FG, FF leaders reach agreement on basis for new govt

The leaders of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have reached agreement on a joint policy document, which they hope will lead to the formation of a new coalition government.

https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2020/0414/1130311-politics/

FF & #39;will establish within the Department of an Taoiseach a unit to lead a formal study and cross-community consultation on a Green Paper to outline how the Irish government should approach the handling of any unity referendum should circumstances arise where it can be called.& #39;

FG ‘is committed to maintaining the all-island civic dialogue in the context of Brexit but also as a useful structure to discuss future challenges to relationships on the island of Ireland.’

So, on the constitutional future: Will the minimalist and limited & #39;promises& #39; from FF and FG in their election manifestos be delivered?
