I don't suppose there is any official position voiced by Ireland yet.
But you've obviously been listening to the fairies.

Poll shows Irish support unification but don’t want to pay for it

Financial factors loom large 100 years after partition.

But it's not a simple choice. It's very nuanced, like Remainers recognised Brexit was going to be.
It requires an economic assessment.
Wages, pensions, housing costs, etc are higher in Ireland.
The parity could be achieved over a number of years. Germany took about 8 years to achieve parity after reunification. I believe.
There are a host of other questions, such as would UK continue to pay pensions to those already receiving them, etc.
Would UK pay (at least for a limited time) the costs of medical care for NI people, etc.
How would NI share of the national debt be dealt with.

So many in Ireland and NI will not decide until the reunification model is drawn up.
 
Would the south want to take the north regardless of what the north decided

I believe there would be simultaneous polls in both countries. And I think there has to be a majority in both parts of Ireland.

The poll would not be a question like: "What do you want to do?"

I think it's a consolidated poll, not separate NI and Ireland polls.

What is a border poll? What would happen if Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland voted in favour of reunification?

Why should the South pay for it when Irish GDP per head is much higher than it is in Northern Ireland (and indeed the UK). Even using the modified measure of national income (GNI ), the differential remains significant. Expressed per head, GNI is more than 10% higher than GDP per head in the UK and roughly 45% higher than GDP per head in NI. Belfast Telegraph

Unification is a 19th pipedream.
