My friends and relatives in Ireland are on the whole pleased with the outcome. They also expect a lot of cross-border traffic both as a result of the Referendum and Brexit. Those born in Ulster are also citizens of the Republic of Ireland: It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, to be part of the Irish nation. That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland. Of course, citizens of the Republic aren't also citizens of the UK (what a mess THAT would cause!).
