Massive decision which will affect Ireland more than any other country (bar maybe Scotland)

Really hope Scotland votes to break away...the scare mongeribg involved to coerce them into staying was pure wrong

Farage has told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he thought it was a mistake for the Vote Leave campaign to say that it could save £350m a week by leaving the EU and that the money could go to the NHS :pac:

Such a massive upheaval and only half of the people wanted it.

I have to admit, I woke up half an hour ago and I'm very surprised to hear that it's Leave - but then again, I'm sorta not.

This is the latest backlash against what has been an increasingly undemocratic and unrepresentative EU over the last few years, and how this has spilled over into individual member states with the rise of far-left and right parties in general elections.
Ordinary people have been increasingly marginalised in favour of the interests of politicians and corporates, and issues like how the financial crisis in Greece and the "refugee" situation in the Med have been dealt with have not gone unnoticed with the EU (and most notably Germany) throwing its weight around to force policy on those States - policy which itself has been made up as it goes along regardless of any "rules".

I tip my hat sir!

You have just summed up exactly why the EU is a failed cocept.

The brits at the end of the day when push comes to shove are the only ones with a sack left.

Our pityful politicians are led around by merkel by the nose.

If Britain comes out of this alright after a few years surely others could possibly want out too.

Gotta say I'm surprised. Went to bed hearing that Remain was looking likely to take it handily (excellent prediction there BBC) and woke to all this! Irish in the UK btw.

The saltiness of the Remain guys is something else. The people have spoken and ye didn't make yer case. Time to look ahead.

Not necessarily all bad. Charlie Flanagan was in the news during the week that he was liaising with london based banks about a move to Dublin in the event of brexit.

You may not like him.... but he spoke an awful lot of truth... just the PC brigade dont want to hear it.

Im not saying he didnt talk ****e as well.... but then there was a lot of that coming out of the remain camp as well.

One thing Ireland doesn't need is more banks ffs

But yes a lot of UK based companies will move/open offices to gain access to EU again


But it will be interesting to see what kinda package they negotiate and how much access to European markets they get....


Still somewhat surprised it got through though

I'm stunned.

More people put an "x" in the leave box than the remain box..... either that or the vote counters totalled up the wrong bundles of votes

This is the beginning of the end of the EU as we now know it. Unless there is serious reform of the institution following the departure of the UK this is just the first domino to fall!

It seems that the EU propaganda machine has successfully got people to believe that the only way is the EU way.

350bn drop in sterling already is a fact not propaganda. Farage has already admitted the leave camp lied with their propaganda.

SF are irrelevant in this regard.. there's absolutely no indication that people on either side of the border want a United Ireland.

Oh sure you'll get nationalist people who'll say in a survey that "yeah of course" but that's an abstract scenario. The reality is that we wouldn't want to pay for it, and why would NI want to join our little (banana) republic anyway?

Some light morning reading for everyone.

An absolutely hilarious article.

Mr Kenny now faces leading Ireland through a period of difficulty and uncertainty unprecedented in the last 50 years, more complex and unpredictable than the recent financial crisis, more destabilising the Northern Troubles.

Lol.. Hysterical panic mode.

Well I voted remain.

I really can't believe they were actually foolish enough to vote leave.

I'm shocked and surprised for the Leave vote, but this attitude is really annoying me.
I've heard snippits of young remain supporters this morning saying they feel 'disillusioned with politics' and 'sad people didn't make the right decision'.
It's a democracy and the majority have voted against something FFS!!!
How can you be so flippant and ignorant to the state of your own nation?
The truth is, no one really knows if this the right decision or not... it depends on who's views you want to believe and whose campaign has swayed you.

It's similar to Trump getting so close to power in the US.
Don't question why people are 'foolish' to vote for him.
Question as to why his ideas / views are so popular in the first place.

The UK Government have marginalised the majority of their people and they've kicked them in the nads this morning for it

When will the crash in sterling be reflected with our banks, and on the likes of Amazon? Asking for a friend...

They main point of the eu is to have a trade block,encourage free trade,
anyone can travel or work in an eu country .
Theres no taxs or duty between eu countrys .
Its bad news for ireland as we the uk is a big market for irish goods,
if sterling drops people might go up the north to buy drink,cigarettes etc
It could increase the cost of trade with the uk and you might need a passport to go to the north of ireland.
The eu forced ireland to bring in new laws for human rights ,
womens rights ,
it helped us to bring in laws on divorce etc
Which is a good thing.
Irelands economy depends on being an eu member.
I think the uk people voted to leave because they are concerned about immigration .

Because the UK is a large part of the EU economy, despite being outside the Euro.

who the fug

The sun came up today, it will come up tomorrow and the day after that, the stay campaign tried to bully the electorate and it back fired.

Now I suppose I better get use to going to bed with no supper, because thats what the remain campaign said would happen if we voted out.

One of the positives that will be far outweighed by other factors of the coming recession for the UK.

Market panic, things will settle down fairly quickly. Although I'm sure a few traders have made a killing. One thing this referendum has highlighted is the sheer volume of economic experts in our midst.

Did you think GBP would plummet beforehand?
