Putting aside all the ragging, Jim raises an extremely serious issue
that illustrates the law of unintended consequences. The Brexit vote, as he rightly points out, potentially has serious consequences for Ireland.
There may have to be a hard border again between north and south and Ireland's trading position may be seriously compromised. Also politics may rear it's ugly sectarian head. Hopefully none of these events will occur, but it is yet another of the potential outcomes of Brexit that certainly had no public airing before the event.
    Had all the true issues surrounding Brexit been itemised and discussed prior to the vote It is a distinct possibility the outcome would have been very different.
