Sunday Independent article on the Commonwealth

Sunday Independent correspondent Eamon Delaney has written an article on the Commonwealth that is well worth reading.

He refers to the launch of Reform's new Ireland and the Commonwealth book and points out that

"Ireland has never been as harmoniously close as to the UK as it is now, and we should never have left the loose association of the Commonwealth, especially since we helped to design the actual thing with Kevin O'Higgins, way back after our independence -- and in tandem with it."

Delaney also argues:

"Rejoining the Commonwealth would in fact help to bridge the gulf of partition which has actually grown since the peace process. "

The whole article - entitled "Rejoining the Commonwealth Club? C'mon it'll be great sport" - is available on the Sunday Independent website - it's certainly a very interesting contribution to the ongoing debate and is well worth reading in full.
