There is a reference on wikipedia to a unity clause in the Anglo Irish Treaty of 1921. I looked up the treaty on-line but can't see it. Any ideas?

Presumably that's referring to the Boundary Commission and the idea that it was going to give more of Ulster to the Irish Free State, thus forcing what was left to join the Irish Free State if it wished to survive.
Or maybe its the bit about the Treaty encompassing all Ireland with Northern Ireland given the right to seceed from the IFS, which it immediately did.

As I vaguely recall, the NI parliament had a right to vote itself into a UI.
