Some polling...
https://www.europeanmovement.ie/press-release-emireland-eu-poll-2023/

Support for Ireland remaining a member of the EU remains positive

1 in 4 people in Ireland believe there will be a United Ireland in the EU within ten years, while almost half in Northern Ireland believe so.

@Rik_M @sarahtaber unless I missed it, it's a shame it doesn't specifically ask people if they want a united Ireland. It only appears to ask if they think it will happen.
