I cannot see Southern Ireland leaving the EU .
Surely a united Ireland would mean that N. Ireland (as was) would become part of Eire, in the EU, and no longer part of the UK ?
A move I entirely approve of.
Northern Ireland are net beneficiaries from the UK Treasury by £9billion per annum
Presumably the southern Irish are happy to pick up the tab?
And what about the divorce bill?
How big will that be, and will Dublin pay it?
We can all see what a mess Brexit it.
Don't think that NI leaving the UK then joining Eire will be any easier.
I suspect it would be similar in many ways to the re-unification of Germany.
Overall, a joyous occasion.
For many I'm sure it would be.
But East Germany and West Germany were 2 independent states
That is not the case with Northern Ireland
There could be a hefty divorce bill - just like Brexit
And Northern Ireland is dependendant on the rest of us to the tune of £9billion/year.
Someone has to pick up that tab as well.
