Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that he believes that Ireland will be united again during his lifetime. Tá sé ráite ag an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar go gcreideann sé go mbeidh Éire aontaithe an athuair le linn a mharthana. Speaking on RTÉ today, the Taoiseach said that he believes that we are currently heading in that direction. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ inniu, dúirt an Taoiseach go gcreideann sé gur ag dul sa treo sin atáthar faoi láthair. At the same time, he said, there would be a million Britons living in a united Ireland and the success of the country would depend on how they would be treated as a minority, according to him. San am céanna, arsa sé, bheadh milliún Briotanach ina gcónaí in Éirinn aontaithe agus bheadh rath na tíre ag brath ar conas a chaithfí leo mar mhionlach, dar leis. At the World Economic Forum in Switzerland at the beginning of the year, Leo Varadkar refused to answer a question about Irish unification. Ag an bhFóram Eacnamaíoch Domhanda san Eilvéis i dtús na bliana, dhiúltaigh Leo Varadkar ceist faoi aontú na hÉireann a fhreagairt. The European Union and Britain were looking to reach a compromise on the Northern Protocol at the time and Leo Varadkar was concerned, he said, that any answer he would give to the question could attract controversy. Bhí an tAontas Eorpach agus an Bhreatain ag féachaint le teacht ar chomhréiteach ar Phrótacal an Tuaiscirt ag an am agus bhí imní ar Leo Varadkar, a dúirt sé, go bhféadfadh aon fhreagra a thabharfadh sé ar an gceist conspóid a tharraingt. The Taoiseach was asked today about the provocative Celtic Symphony ballad that the Wolfes Tones performed at Electric Picnic recently. Cuireadh ceist ar an Taoiseach inniu faoin mbailéad gríosaitheach Celtic Symphony a chas na Wolfes Tones ag fleá cheoil Electric Picnic le gairid. The Taoiseach claimed that people like to play songs with other people and he said that perhaps too much emphasis is placed on such things at times. Mhaígh an Taoiseach gur maith le daoine amhráin a chasadh in éineacht le daoine eile agus dúirt sé go mb’fhéidir go gcuirtear barraíocht suntais ina leithéid in amanna. On the contrary, he said, ballads like Celtic Symphony can touch people’s hearts. Os a choinne sin, arsa sé, is féidir le bailéid mar Celtic Symphony daoine a ghoin go croí. If this country is to be united, he said, people must think about how their words and songs will affect others. Má táthar leis an tír seo a aontú, a dúirt sé, caithfidh daoine a machnamh a dhéanamh ar conas mar a rachaidh a gcuid focal agus a gcuid amhrán i gcion ar dhaoine eile.
