Repartition of Ireland
The repartition of Ireland has been suggested as a possible solution to the continuing political disagreement in Northern Ireland. It implies that the essential problem was that the partition of Ireland was gerrymandered, and as a result Northern Ireland contains a large Irish nationalist minority. Much of the Irish nationalist population lives in the south and west of the region, but a significant percentage lives in Belfast and some smaller communities in the north and east, whilst British unionists constitute a majority of the population in the north and east of the region with some smaller communities in the south and west. The geographical area in which unionists are a majority is less than half of Northern Ireland (see graphic below), but eastern areas have a much higher population density. Collectively, Northern Ireland is split, with unionists comprising approximately 50% of the population, and falling slowly. At the last general election unionists secured precisely 50% of the seats.〔Elections in Northern Ireland〕 None of these proposals are currently supported by any political party in Ireland.

The idea was first mooted at the time the border was drawn up. Some Irish republicans, including Cahir Healy, while objecting to the partition in principle, argued in particular that County Fermanagh and County Tyrone should not be included in the North, as they had a majority nationalist population. John Redmond also indicated that he would be prepared to accept this option.
The Boundary Commission determined the current border in 1925, although the Irish delegate (Professor Eoin MacNeill) had resigned from it in protest at its failure to respect the terms of the Treaty.〔(Dáil Éireann - Volume 13 - 24 November 1925: THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION ) Historical debates of Dáil Éireann, November 1925〕 Its decision was not published. The three governments, however, determined another agreement on 6 December 1925 (to parliamentary approval ) which confirmed the existing boundary of Northern Ireland, along with other matters.〔(Dáil Éireann - Volume 13 - 7 December 1925: TREATY (CONFIRMATION OF AMENDING AGREEMENT) BILL, 1925. ) Line 1300〕
This new agreement was approved by the Dáil (the Dublin parliament) by a vote of 71 to 20.〔(Dáil Éireann - Volume 13 - 10 December 1925: PRIVATE BUSINESS. - TREATY (CONFIRMATION OF AMENDING AGREEMENT) BILL, 1925—SECOND STAGE (Resumed). ) Line 1769〕
