Eventually, the penny will drop that it's more their problem than ours.
Alternatively, the republic may decide to appoint a taoiseach who has 'a pair', and recognizes that the most beneficial course of action would be to follow us out, the timing would be perfect as they've only just started contributing financially, they could borrow Boris to help with the negotiations.
It's a win win.
And a common travel area.
The name Scotland literally translates as land of the Irish.Scotland?
They immigrated to the North hundreds of years ago
The Scots were originally from Ireland, migration between Ireland and Scotland has been going on for 1000's of years.
The Roman Catholic church created the myth that the Roman Catholic Irish are the original people of Ireland and that Protestants and people from mainland Britain are interlopers who have to be driven out, this sectarian lie has caused misery for centuries.

Surely if you favour brexit, you will want to stop that arrangement.
It's not an arrangement that's available to any old Tomaz, Dieter or Reinhardt.
Provided that you have a hard border, with immigration officials and passport checks, and fences or walls to prevent people crossing the border at any points that do not have checks.
A person crossing the border with no checks might be a UK citizen, or a citizen of the RoI, or a citizen of any other country who is in the UK or RoI. Unless you check the entitlement of every person crossing the border, the border is open to all. RoI contains citizens of other EU nations. UK contains citizens of non-EU nations.
Brexers want to end free movement. They can only achieve this by having a hard border and checking the status of every person who crosses. Brexers want a hard border.
This is an example of a Separation Barrier. The people who built it deny that it is a wall.
I don't, I want a soft border with Ireland, just like the one we had for the last 100 years. I'll let you into a little secret, it's what they want as well.
...but they will bring their strange customs and religion and pinch all your jobs and houses and use the NHS.
The penny will drop, Ireland reunited and EU members.
NI is staying in single market, big big benefit, as Johnson told Irish business leaders.
Protection of single market more important.
It would appear to be that they don't want 'some people' - but some will deny that.
