The Reform Movement (not to be confused with the UK Tory group Reform) is an Irish group which lobbies for a closer relationship with the UK. It supports re-entry to the Commonwealth and the right to a British passport for people from southern Ireland, but denies claims that it is a unionist organisation or supports re-entry into the UK.[1]
At its launch in 1998, the group was described by the Irish Times as a 'new unionist lobby group.'[2]
