  1. Could Fox not find an Irish person to ask these questions to?

  2. The only people talking about the Irish leaving the EU are frustrated Brexiters.

  3. David, are you suggesting the UK gives a shit about Ireland?. We already know it doesn't. The UK is not 'Ireland's biggest customer', the United States is; furthermore, Ireland's exports to the EU are three time larger than its exports to the UK. It is however, a vital market for the bulk of Irish agricultural produce. You do know that the UK exports more to Ireland than vice versa? You do know that Ireland is worth more to the UK economy than all of the exports to Brazil, Russia, India and China combined, by a factor of two? AND its right on you doorstep, and as gravity applies in economics, its value is worth more to the UK than the same exports going to another continent. By leaving the Single Market, and Customs Union, you will be putting a barrier to your exports to Ireland. Ireland wishes to remain in the EU - in fact, support for EU membership now stands and 92%, UP 4% since last year. Brexit is making Irish membership of the EU more popular! Best of luck!

  4. Typical Brexiter hysteria and ignorance. No country has all its laws dictated from the EU; the purpose of the EU is to pool trade and trading power, which is to the enormous advantage of small countries; only external borders are controlled by the EU in terms of customs and trade. I thought the Brexiters were complaining the that the EU had no border controls and the UK wanted to 'take back control' of its own borders? How can the EU both control and not control the borders of the EU?

  6. The Irish are already paying into the EU, David. Unlike the British, the Irish have no difficulty paying more. The English appear to be unique in the EU in terms of their sheer meanness - I wouldn't be surprised if Brexiters peel oranges in their pockets and eat their meals out of a drawer.
