Hey, thanks for that.

So it’s not every 7 years, that’s the minimum time between referendums, which I (inaccurately) read in your original comment.

> A referendum on a united Ireland is to be called by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when it appears likely that a majority of the people would vote in favour of a united Ireland. If the referendum is defeated, at least 7 years must pass before a new referendum can be held.

I think, though, if this was applied to Scotland then they would have reasonable cause since there definitely an independence movement.
