Sounds like it’s time for a Free Ireland, but at what cost? (unlimited mid root beer)
While I normally don't give the Brits much credit, gotta say NI is not being held in the UK against its collective will. Your imagined cruel English oppressor holding on to land by force, opposing the will of the local population, is out of date in the 21st century.
Almost all Brit politicians would love to be the PM at the time of Irish unification.
Since 1998, the NI Secretary is obliged by treaty to carry out a referendum for unification as soon as polling indicates there's a reasonable chance it would get a yes majority.
It just hasn't happened yet. It probably will, within a few decades.
LOL if you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you.
