Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : "This action would add €10 billion annually to State spending.
52% : It would mean a dramatic increase in taxes in the Republic as well as an increase in public expenditure, according to the report - published by the Institute of International and European Affairs.
52% : The academics put the cost of the Treasury's contribution to the running of Northern Ireland at £10.5 billion (€12.3 billion) annually, the figure given in 201 - excluding the impact of Covid on public spending.
50% : Public spending would also rise by one-quarter, while the higher borrowing costs that would last for years afterwards would prompt "a dramatic increase" in taxes, "and/or a major reduction in expenditure south of the Border".
