One in four people in the Republic believe there will be a united Ireland within the next ten years, according to a new poll published today.
A survey conducted by Amárach research for the European Movement, found half of those surveyed in the North believe a united Ireland will happen by 2033.
It also found support for Ireland's continued membership of the EU stands at 88 per cent, one of the highest approval ratings in the European Union.
Noelle O'Connell of the European Movement in Ireland says the most surprising finding is that people in the north have greater trust in the EU than the UK government.
"In Northern Ireland, 44% of people trust the EU, 34% of them trusted the Irish Government, while 22% of them trusted the British Government.
"So regardless if people voted remain or leave, 44% of people in Northern Ireland trust the EU versus 22% of people trusting the British Government.
