February 19
47 mins

Episode Description

This week on the one year anniversary special of Stormont Sources, David McCann is joined by Tim Cairns and Michael McKernan to break down the political storm following comments from former UUP councillor Lindzi McLaren suggesting Irish unity may be “inevitable.”

Her remarks come just days after SDLP Leader, Claire Hanna argued that while Irish unity is desirable, it is not inevitable. So who’s right?


We also examine UUP leader John Burrows calling on the Irish government to apologise for its role during the Troubles — a call rejected by Taoiseach Micheál Martin.


In this episode:

Is unionism facing an identity crisis?

Are hardline voices reshaping the debate?

Does the Irish government owe an apology?


David, Tim and Michael also reflect on a year of Stormont Sources and look back at some of their favourite moments.


🎧 Stormont Sources takes you inside Stormont and the decisions shaping Northern Ireland.
