Artiklen undersøger modstanden mod delingen af Irland, fra dens implementering til en nutid domineret af usikkerhed omkring udgangen af brexit. Argumentet er, at modstanden mod deling har været en konstant på øen igennem et helt århundrede til trods for forskellige metoder – konstitutionelle såvel som voldelige – og forskellige intensiteter. Delingen af Irland i to forskellige politiske enheder har ikke blot været grund til, at tusinder af mænd og kvinder har båret våben og deltaget i en voldelig kamp. Delingen har også været fundamentet for den væsentligste ideologi i både Nordirland og den irske republik i et århundrede, nemlig den irske republikanisme. Langfredagsaftalen neddroslede måske suverænitetsdebatten i en tid, men brexit har bragt den på banen igen og givet politisk momentum til de, som ikke ønsker deling. Irsk republikanisme kan således instrumentalisere den politiske krise, der udspiller sig i kølvandet på et brexit og endnu en gang presse på for at opnå et forenet Irland.
