Ireland has nothing to fear from a Brexit

I would like to present an alternative view on the so called ‘Brexit’. I hear, as everyone does, how it would be awful for Ireland. I don’t think so. It might be awful for Britain if they don’t have a suitable exit strategy from the union, but really how awful for us?

To begin with, Ireland and Britain still have the Treaty of 1921 which established all trading arrangements and free movement between these islands and it’s still in force. It existed long before the EU did, even in its earliest forms.

We will still trade with Britain. If there are going to be customs the two governments will ensure it’s minor. Neither peoples will need a visa to visit the other’s country.
