  1.  @mikaham681  The EU cannot walk away from Ireland, as Ireland IS the EU - every member IS the EU. It is not some separate overarching invisible entity - every member IS the EU. The fact is, the UK is weaker than Ireland because of brexit and that is why you ended up in this situation. The EU was ALWAYS going to back it member against a soon-to-be-outsider, no matter how big and important it thinks it is. That's just a plain fact.

  2.  @mikaham681  Every member state IS the EU. It is not some separate body holding countries against their will. The EU is a group of small countries, half of them smaller than Ireland, ans while the British can only view international relations between countries in terms strong v weak, it is not how the EU is run. Ireland is comfortable with its membership in a way that you could never understand, with support for membership actually increasing since Brexit.

  4.  @obadiahspong2300  In terms of trade, Ireland will gradually move away from the UK - it already has done over the last 50 years. Brexit will continue the process.

  5.  @drewwilliams6888  Its like the English have a phobia about being alone. When will they learn to stand on their own two feet?
