Ded srs the only time I've seen people so obsessed with reunification of Ireland are soyit, twitter and instagram. In addition they seemed to be made by people who don't go out much so they make discussing politics a personality trait. You know the typical anime/cartoon pfp with aesthetic, flags of Ukraine and Palestine in their username, pronouns in bio. Oh and so many of them are not even Irish they're American 
Never seen this topic talked seriously in newspapers or political debates. I know that in Northern Ireland there is a percentage of the population who wants to reunify and they were killing people about 30 years ago for that. Now they don't kill anymore but they have a quite large political representation.
But do people in the republic want that? It seems Ireland already has its own problems (housing crisis, immigration, riots, etc.) to add an extra province which will need to be integrated to the rest of its institutions. Not to mention unionists would be very pissed off and they are still a large part of the population so it could be a mess. In addition this seemed to be more of a religious conflict between catholics and protestants and the christian religion as a whole is in decline so big part of the conflict is dying too.
Biggest supporters of Irish reunification outside Northern Ireland seem to be:
-Americans with Irish ancestry
-Celtic FC (a team from Glasgow, Scotland kek) fans
-Band kids who think IRA memes are peak comedy
-Terminally online wokes who play a lot of Paradox games and are obsessed with politics
