But wasn’t that back when residents of Ireland and Northern Ireland and other areas were all EU residents, so a lot of these types of arguments were largely academic?

(Versus a post Brexit world where someone could be very suddenly trapped in interactions with a government they don’t consent to live under, but cannot as easily flee?)

Can you understand why cutting off someone’s escape, for lack of a better phrasing, could radicalize them?

Anyone born in Northern Ireland can claim both a British and Irish passport, and therefore, all people born in Northern Ireland can claim EU citizenship.

Separately, people with British passports can live and work in Ireland without a visa, and vice versa, because both are part of the CTA.
