BREXIT

[VNA]

So what are folks thinking in The Republic of Ireland?
A new Sky news poll came up with the following;

Some 79 per cent of those surveyed agreed to the statement that “the Irish Government should hold out for a legal guarantee that there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland even if that risk a no-deal Brexit on March 29th”.

The EU’s stance has won favour with 63 per cent of the Irish population with just 16 per cent disapproving.

Unsurprisingly, just 6 per cent of the Irish population approved of the way the UK government is handling Brexit and nearly two-thirds believe its approach to the Brexit negotiations has been “very bad”.

The reputation of the UK has taken a battering in Ireland as a result of Brexit.

Given a choice between cutting ties economically with the UK or with the EU, 81 per cent of Irish people would rather cut economic ties with the UK than the EU.
