Northern Ireland is in a far more difficult situation than Scotland, when it comes to the practical implications of Brexit. Both enjoy funding from the EU, which London may or may not replace to the full, but only NI has a land border with an EU country. Finding a practical solution, as suggested by Prime Minister May, could be easier said than done. If the UK, principally England, is to control its borders to reduce EU migration, it cannot leave one border to the EU open. One solution may be to have an open border between the Republic of Ireland and NI, but control the border between NI and the UK. That would please the nationalists, but would send the unionists into one of their frenzies. Unfortunately for the latter who campaigned for Brexit, NI voted Remain. Maybe the unionists no longer hold the sway they once did.
