Reviews of A Troubled Constitutional Future: Northern Ireland after Brexit:
"This informative, well researched book on the complexities of UK–Irish relationships and the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland and its potential constitutional consequences should be compulsory reading for UK politicians." – Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC
"Brexit collided with a fragile 'negative peace' in Northern Ireland, and more than five years on we are still living with the consequences of an English insurgency against the European Union which cared little, and understood less, about the implications for Ireland. Murphy and Evershed have done a wonderful and valuable job in drawing together the strands of a complex story, still unfolding, which has led Northern Ireland, perhaps even the United Kingdom, to a critical, constitutional moment." – Tony Connelly, RTE Europe Editor, and author of Brexit and Ireland: The Dangers, the Opportunities, and the Inside Story of the Irish Response
"Murphy and Evershed capture the ‘carnival of reaction’ that has followed the 2016 Brexit referendum, which itself forced discussion of identity, borders and the constitution into Northern Ireland’s everyday discourse. At a time when politics has seemed simultaneously to be stuck and moving at speed, this book helpfully takes stock of the dynamics at play, where this conversation might go next and how political forces in Northern Ireland react and respond to one another." – Claire Hanna MP
