‘Why would we want to be part of the UK?’ Young people will probably soon deliver a united Ireland. Source: The Guardian. Prior to 1973 we in the Republic used to face the border crossing and into Northern Ireland for goodies we could not buy in our shops. 1973 both the UK and Ireland entered the EEC and I have to say Ireland, the Republic, have gained much from this move. Sadly the UK and its Brexit choice (some suspect Russian intrusion here) has seen the UK aloof with the Irish involved in a broad market. “For 19-year-old student Ellie-Jo Taylor, Brexit fundamentally changed the pull of a united Ireland among younger generations. “We are campaigning for our future, for a return to the European Union within a united Ireland,” she told me. “We have an opportunity to create an entirely new country.””
