On the verge of its centenary, the Irish border is once again at the centre of British politics. Twenty years on from the landmark Good Friday Agreement, the already complex and controversial question of the border — which generations of Westminster politicians have sought to suppress— has now been further complicated by Britain’s protracted withdrawal from the EU.In this concise explanation of an issue that has bedevilled British politics for nearly a century, Ivan Gibbons charts the border’s genesis, the historic background to the current controversy, the reasons for decades of British indifference to an ignorance of the subject, and what the future of the border might be.

The passion and emotion felt about the partition of Ireland has not dissipated in the 100 years since and, as the disorders occurred in Northern Ireland in the Spring 2021 show, it is as controversial now as it was then. To mark the centenary of partition, this much-acclaimed concise introductory history explains clearly and objectively why and how two states were created on the island.

This book examines the previously hidden and unpublished submissions made to the Irish Boundary Commission in 1924-25, offering a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in Irish and British history. Based on meticulous research conducted at the National Archives in London, it examines the original submissions from 585 witnesses and 58 groups and public bodies during public hearings in Enniskillen, Armagh, Omagh, Derry, and Rostrevor. The Boundary Commission, established under Article 12 of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty, faced numerous challenges, including civil unrest, political upheaval, and legal uncertainties, which delayed its work. The book explores key concepts such as the political dynamics of the time, the obstructionist policies of the Northern Ireland Government, and the impact of the Commission's recommendations. It also addresses critical questions about the legitimacy and consequences of the Commission's decisions, which were ultimately rejected by all parties involved in the Tripartite Agreement of December 1925. This centenary year marks the finalization of the geographical and political boundaries of the British and Irish states, a milestone often overshadowed by other historical events. An essential read for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the intricate political landscape of early twentieth-century Ireland and Britain, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Boundary Commission's work and its lasting impact on both nations.
