I am not sure I believe the forecasts of reunification
Because to offer Northern Ireland a referendum on leaving the UK will mean that Westminster have to a) approve and b) respond to Scotland looking for round 2
They don't have any choice. The GFA recognises the right to Irish unification if it's agreed to concurrently with referendums (referenda?) on both sides of the border. This is reflected in UK law.
"The Northern Ireland Act 1998 states that “if at any time it appears likely to him that a majority of those voting would express a wish that Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland”, the Secretary of State shall make an Order in Council enabling a border poll".
It just seems there isn't a clamour for it at the moment, on either side of the border. It would cause huge upheaval and the status quo kind of works, especially because of the relative peace since the GFA. I agree with others above though, that long term it is probably inevitable.
