Trimble to call for poll on united Ireland
Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble is to call for a poll on a united Ireland next year, in his speech to party members at the Unionists’ annual general meeting today, UUP sources indicated today.
In a surprise move Mr Trimble, Northern Ireland First Minister, will urge the British and Irish Governments to go to the electorate next May to see if Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom.
