Brexit
Ireland from Brexit benefits?
No, it was not always a good neighborhood between the United Kingdom and Ireland. A Brexit would affect the Irish-British relations is enormous. Bad memories are awake.
It is already clear that the British-Irish relationships would suffer from a Brexit. One-seventh of all exports from the Republic of Ireland go to the UK. Conversely, it looks even more dramatic – about 25 percent of all the Goods, and introduce the Ireland, come from the UK. The economic damage would be immense, if this Were in the future duty would be levied. To the extent, but only to the economic aspect.
For many, almost unimaginable would be the re-introduction of border controls between Northern Ireland and the since 1921 as an independent Republic. The first checks would be, since the para-military patrols were abolished in the 1990s. “My interest in the Welfare of Ireland,” says Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny. “By which I mean specifically the freedom to travel, the peace process and the open border to Northern Ireland.” Motorists to remember today, possibly even at different speed limits that you have to drive just over the border.

A United Ireland?
The vote in favour of Brexit has called the advocates of an Irish re-unification on the Plan. Representatives of the Irish Sinn Fein party, want to see both parts of the Island in 95 years reunited and argue that, although the whole of the UK voted, along taken for “leave”, the Northern Irishman, however, with 56 percent for “remain”. For his party, the Northern Irish Deputy first Minister Martin McGuinness, it is simply a “Disaster”. Both London the right to represent Northern Ireland in the future.
Their demand for a Referendum, but was blocked immediately by the governments in London and Dublin. They see it as an unnecessary discussion that can’t have Northern Ireland. The 20-year-old peace process between Protestants and Catholics bearing fruit, now the religious burial will be unleashed fighting, by no means a Referendum.

The Irish fear the Brexit
The tourism sector in excitement
Although a withdrawal of Britain from the EU before 2019 in force, alone has the vote of the Irish-British trade relations, already shaken. The pound rattled down, Irish exports were to UK customers over night to ten percent more expensive. Also, the tourism sector in Ireland trembles – after all, around 41 percent of all holiday makers from the UK arrived yet. The Ireland holiday could be now too expensive.
And in Brussels? What would change there? A former Diplomat compares the Council of Europe in the DW interview with a school canteen, in the individual tables group. The Benelux countries, for example, are closely connected among themselves, as well as the Baltic States, the Scandinavians, or the Iberians. The British were allied at the European level, with the Irish always tight. The Irish their closest ally breaks away so now. The only thing you can hope for is that soon the Celtic friend Scotland frees itself from the Kingdom and the EU accession.
The Brexit also holds opportunities
The crisis also offers new opportunities. The Republic of Ireland has drawn up several contingency plans in the event of Brexit. One of them is that you want to attract companies from the UK to Ireland. This would benefit from the EU membership of the Republic, and could at the same time rely on many young, well-educated native English speakers as a potential employee. “Many multi-culturally established Start-Ups with ten or more employees say at the moment is that you are looking for an alternative location within the EU,” says Micéal OKane, chief of Head-Hunting-portal JobsEngine.com. “You want to get away from the UK, and yet, before the banks leave the country and the prices in the trade.”
Free travel between the UK, Northern Ireland and the Republic of reigns
On the shopping streets of Dublin, the people are afraid of all, to the fact that the Brexit could strain interpersonal relationships. What would be, for example, with Relatives, living in the UK? You would lose your right of residence, if the “divorce” is executed?
“My son moved four years ago to Manchester,” says a lady of the DW. “You’ll be only an hour’s flight away and we see us on a regular basis, but it is clear that There you are now home. It would destroy their existence, if they had to now move away again, just because you are no Englishman.”
Another says what many are thinking here: “I don’t want that turning the clock back. The Kill in Northern Ireland may never start again”. To far you had come in Ireland – the time of the wall construction should finally be over.
