\"I don\'t see Britain subsidizing us like the EU,\" Maguire said . \" He voted to stay.

Action at the European level helped to remove the border as an economic or tourism barrier in early 1990.
Many are now concerned that the British and Irish authorities have no choice but to redeploy customs officers and police officers to stop immigration and smuggling, which may fuel new support for the illegal IRA.
From the 1970 s to the 1990 s, the IRA attacks prompted Britain to establish a border network of soldiers-controlled bases and watchtowers,, after 2005 of the majority of IRA members decided to disarm and abandon the violence, the facilities had disappeared.
\"In order to promote peace and economic growth, we need to make the Irish border invisible as much as possible.
Voters in England don\'t really understand the stakes here, \"said John Paul Felley, a county council member born in Black Lion, a village of 200 people, north and east.
Feeley says about 30,000 people travel across the border from two directions to work and school every day, and the last thing they need is to go back to traffic --

The decision to support Britain\'s exit from the EU was shocking, causing the pound to fall against other currencies, including the euro used by Ireland.
This change means that southerners with euros in their pockets suddenly find that shopping in Northern Ireland is about 10 cents cheaper, while Northern Ireland --
Companies operating in the UK have found that imported goods are becoming more expensive.
\"Many of our customers are in Europe and I think that will make it more difficult for us to compete in Europe,\" said Jonathan Balver, director of elite electronic systems, about 200 employees were hired in the nearby Northern Ireland town of enniskelen.
The company assembled
printed circuit boards and other electronic peripherals, but found that the cost of imported materials was rising as the pound fell sharply.

\"I am still shocked,\" said Joris Smet, a Dutch citizen who runs his own building supplies business in the Northern Ireland border town of Newry.
He said many of the company\'s goods were imported from Germany through the Dutch and Belgian ports of Antwerp before being exported to Ireland.
\"So it\'s not surprising that I\'m a fanatic supporter of EU members. . . .

On the other hand, the euro will face the outflow of retail trade to the north. In the north, the weak pound means a stronger consumer capacity for the euro.

\"Sometimes Dundalk wins, sometimes Newry wins,\" said Paddy Malone, spokesman for the Dundalk Chamber of Commerce . \".

At present, the only indication that drivers go from one country to another is that Ireland\'s speed limit and distance are listed in kilometers, while Miles are used in the north.
\"The road was built without any border checks.
Impose them on something that should be high.
Fast and efficient infrastructure is difficult, to say the least . \"
\"There are hundreds of trails and country paths across the border, and it is impossible to control all of them by police.
\"British forces have been trying to close the border for years.
\"They have never succeeded,\" he added . \".
