How does making the Brits fly around Ireland help the Irish citizens?
How does a hard border across the island of Ireland and the violence that will ensue help British citizens?
Anyone who thinks Brexit won't bring back violence to Ireland doesn't understand the Good Friday Agreement
If Northern Ireland leaves the single market, a hard border is inevitable. What will become of the cross-border collaboration enabling farmers on both sides to compete with their counterparts elsewhere in the world?
Twenty-five per cent of the region’s raw milk goes south of the border to be processed and 40 per cent of Northern Irish lambs are processed in the Republic. A hard Brexit would impede that flow because of tariffs and customs checks. The burden of paperwork around traceability and standards would also be prohibitive.
What will become of patients from the Republic who receive radiotherapy in the North and the children who travel from Belfast to Dublin for heart surgery in the only all-island newly opened world class facility? How will emergency services continue to collaborate?
Northern Ireland already has the highest levels of unemployment and poverty in the UK and can ill afford to lose €3.5bn in EU subsidies up to 2020. How will the British exchequer fill that gap?

It's a border. Counties all over the planet work it out. It's not that difficult if both sides are interested in making it work.
Took us decades to achieve peace in Ireland, but now we're going to shit on them - tell your countrymen to restart their IRA fundraising.
What are you doing to Ireland? Did you bomb a Guinness plant?
