Ulster posters, more specifically 6 Counties posters, and Ulsterman in particular; How do ye see this affecting ye lads? Will the border be reinforced. Will it mean a day trip to Croker is now gonna need bloody passports and everything? Will this effect the lax currency cross over in border towns etc?

It's hard to know how this will all play out. I just hope it doesn't end up with us 6 county dwellers developing some sort of siege mentality and starting to worry that they are all out to get us on the other side of the border! benched (Tyrone) - Posts: 534 - 24/06/2016 16:11:36 1871601 Link 1 |

Yeh if Ulster GAA survived the 70s and 80s it can survive anything. KerryKillers (Dublin) - Posts: 711 - 24/06/2016 16:14:27 1871605 Link 1 |

Ireland and the UK entered the EU together...one was never in while the other way out. I don't think things will be as bad as people are scaremongering though. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 24/06/2016 16:14:54 1871606 Link 0 |

DoireCity - I recommend reading up on pre Europe crossborder travel in the 50s and 60s for example. Trip tickets, bonds and bondee required, custom checks etc etc. Ask anyone who travelled regularly at that time how much fun it was.

Life goes on and life will go on. I think they should have voted to remain but although they voted to leave the fears stoked up about what a leave vote would mean were always over-hyped. It's funny to hear politicians today who 2 days ago were warning that a leave vote would be a catastrophy are now saying that some benefits from it will accrue to the Republic. The custom posts/ security checks on the island are not coming back in my opinion. Those checks are likely to be made at the ports and airports only. In my opinion life will continue much the same as before.

I can't see how there would be no custom checks though Pool Sturgeon. Just look at Norway and Sweden - land border, one in one out of Europe and they have many Custom checks along the border. Why would the North and South be different? Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 24/06/2016 20:31:22 1871697 Link 0 |

It won't affect the GAA in the Six counties. The G AA survived there in the toughest of times and will do. Also I am nearly sure they won't enforce the border again or set up custom posts SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 24/06/2016 20:33:40 1871699 Link 1 |

we need to have the mindset that we are stronger as one nation in every possible way, socially, economically, politically, and in all sports as the Uk is a failed political entity that will not last. Once Scotland leaves the people of England will have no use for the the six Irish counties. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1669 - 24/06/2016 20:40:16 1871701 Link 1 |

There'll be no physical customs checks crossing the border. The reality is the British will cut the north adrift, much to (my pleasure and) the dismay of unionists. Travel from any part of the island of Ireland to Britain will mean customs checks on entry to the island of Britain. This will drive unionists bananas as they'll be free movement north and south on this island whilst they will be treated like foreigners in what they see as their mainland. This will prevent migration from the EU into Britain as otherwise the need for the Brits to seal a 200 mile wide border would be a nightmare. We've undoubtedly moved closer to a united Ireland in my view but the stupid unionists don't see it (yet).

Is it not time now for a party to emerge to take the 26 counties out of Europe. ?? It might be one of the best things that could happen to Ireland. extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 24/06/2016 21:30:55 1871718 Link 0 |

Liam, as I explained on another thread there is a deep unease today within the Northern Nationalist community. We see right wing balloons in England setting the agenda again and Unionists salivating and celebrating the leave vote. They are rejoicing at the possibility of a closed border from Derry to Newry and Northern Nationalists being trapped in an internal, insular, Little Englander/Unionist North. The landscape on this island has changed for the worse and the circumstances, conditions and atmosphere for another conflict are brewing again. I fear for the future big time.

UK has never been weaker imo after this vote and I'll put up with cross border checks for a year or 3 if there really is sexit followed hopefully by a six counties exit bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 24/06/2016 23:54:24 1871765 Link 0 |

Brexit is a disaster for the 6 counties. Voted in by English Nationalists who didn't want decisions made for them outside of their country. Meanwhile a decision is made for the 6 counties by another country. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 25/06/2016 08:42:51 1871783 Link 0 |
