To be fair, it is the not the Republic's business when the "timing" is. It is interfering in a sovereign affair. Only the UK is the arbiter of this.

Only the key actors in NI are the arbiter of this. There are big questions about how deep the commitment of English voters and elites to the Union is

The UK alone can order a referendum. The decision in principal can be agreed within NI but NI is not a sovereign power and therefore cannot initiate this.

*principle*. And what happens if citizens of NI really want a referendum but UK government doesn't.

UK gov is sovereign and a GFA signatory. In a word, diplomacy. We have had enough cymbal banging monkeys here in Scotland to know the games played. UK gov makes the decision in law, end of.

A dynamic where central government that is deeply unpopular in devolved polities is seen to be blocking popular aspirations in those polities is a dynamic that is ideal for secessionist movements to widen and deepen long term support. Can become a trap for central governments

Objectively what has the GFA done in 20 years? Specifically between the UK and RoI who are the only signatories. The first move the Oireachtas made post Brexit was "concluding" the border was best solved by a UI. So we have cymbal banging monkeys pushing in one direction. Fine

Quite a lot of people didn't die after the GFA. But perhaps that doesn't matter for you?

Terrorists are criminal scum. No favour is owed to them. Ends.

This kind of murder seems to have stopped since the GFA.
