爱尔兰总理西蒙·哈里斯和英国首相基尔·斯塔默均表示，爱尔兰统一公投并不是当前的重点。 Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer both state that a referendum on Irish unity is not a current focus.
爱尔兰总理西蒙·哈里斯表示，爱尔兰统一公投不是当前的重点，最重要的一步是支持斯托蒙特的权力分享机构。 Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris has stated that a referendum on Irish unity is not a current focus, and that the most important step is to support the powersharing institutions at Stormont. 尽管北爱尔兰在威斯敏斯特最大的政党新芬党呼吁爱尔兰享有自决权和进行宪法修改以实现爱尔兰统一，但英国首相基尔·斯塔默爵士表示，统一的爱尔兰不在他的议程上。 While Sinn Féin, the largest representation of Northern Ireland parties at Westminster, calls for the right to Irish self-determination and constitutional change towards Irish reunification, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has stated that a united Ireland is not on his agenda. 新任北爱尔兰事务大臣希拉里·本恩认为，就爱尔兰统一进行投票的前景“遥遥无期”。 New Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn believes that the prospect of a vote on Irish unity is "off into the distance." 哈里斯强调，采取切实可行的合作方式，改善北爱尔兰、爱尔兰和英国公民的公共服务、经济和繁荣非常重要。 Harris emphasizes the importance of delivering practical ways of working together and improving public services, economy, and prosperity for the citizens of Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Britain.
