Six One News co-anchor David McCullagh reviews Charles Townshend s new history of the turbulent journey to Irish independence, published for the centenary of the Partition. The fundamental attitudes which produced partition are still in play a century later. The last line of Charles Townshend s new book highlights the importance of understanding how and why the Irish Border came about.
Thanks to its centenary – and its renewed political importance post-Brexit – there have been a number of recent books about the border. Townshend’s is a welcome addition, and forms the last part of a trilogy following well-received works on the Easter Rising and the War of Independence.

The 1920 Government of Ireland act created a border that divided Ireland - but how did politicians approach the issue? David McCullagh explains
The Government of Ireland Act which became law in December 1920, and which divided the island of Ireland into two separate political entities, solved a problem for Britain without satisfying the aspirations of any group in Ireland.
For Britain, partition solved the dilemma of how to reconcile the competing demands of nationalists and unionists in Ireland by giving each a part of what they wanted – a measure of independence for the former, without leaving the latter under the control of a parliament in Dublin.
