It's said that Muammar Gaddafi used to fund Irish rebels. I guess he also believed in a united Ireland. Looking at Ireland, you can see a chunk of the land (Northern Ireland) has been removed & incorporated into Great Britain. In the book Things Fall Apart, they also mention that Ireland has been colonised. Now, I wonder how much Ireland's colonisation is linked to Africa's colonisation. The political map of Ireland doesn't look complete with a part of it incorporated into the United Kingdom.
I think a united Ireland is also something the big brains of the world should look into. If it meant so much to an African icon like Gaddafi, I think Africans should look into this decolonised/united Ireland issue. Ireland uses English in their land more than their native Gaelic language... signs of a colonised land.
