To answer the question, it’d great both for knocking the Brits down a peg, weakening the unionist hold on the rest of the country (like say Scotland) and extending national self-determination to Ireland, but also because it’d reopen the question of self-determination in the EU and expose their hypocrisy towards minority nationalist movements in Europe and anti-imperialist nationalist movements abroad.
But I also want to note that in that clip, he cites the unification specifically as an instance of successful terrorist campaigns. Although the NI assembly has been vacant since Feb 2022 due to Unionist tantrums, I don’t think the Republicans are under conditions to speedrun the formation of a new Provisional IRA, a Brighton Hotel event on Sunak/Starmer and getting lucky once, and unifying the whole country. But that would be a very interesting speedrun to watch.

As a speedrun, I don’t think that would be faster than just holding a referendum, if the northern Irish do actually want to reunite.
