Brexit's Irish Question

[zipplewrath]

1. There has been some concern that N.I. might leave over brexit.

I can remember when Brexit was being discussed, that some thought the impact on N.I. might be too severe causing them to decide to reunite with Ireland. It was fine to have both sides of the coin before, British citizenship and yet free association with Ireland. But being forced to leave the economic advantages of access to European markets, combined with the disadvantages of creating a "hard" border within the island could be too much. Sentiment might finally shift towards reunification. Besides, I've been told that much of the current peace in N.I. is associated with EU rules on equal treatment of all EU citizens.
