How can BREXIT affect Northern Ireland’s economic, political and social system ? I – The Belfast Agreement and the current situation. II – A parallel of the Irish question now and then. III – The border problem and the last negotiation.

I – The Belfast Agreement and the Current Situation.

10th April 1998 – Signature of the Good Friday Agreement It resulted in the creation of a new government being formed, that would see power being shared between the two main parties: DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) and Sinn Féinn in the Northern Ireland Assembly. Source: HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk

The Parliament of Northern Ireland-Stormont Source: Irish Times

Martin Mcguinness was the last Deputy First Minister (Sinn Féinn) of Northern Ireland, he resigned in January 2017 because of an energy scandal called Renewable Heat Incentive Scandal, set up by Arlene Foster who was the last First Minister (DUP). Source: Wikipedia images.

II - A Parallel of the Irish Question Now and Then

III – The border problem and the last negotiations

The 3 different possible outcomes : Northern Ireland could stay in the Customs Union while the rest of the UK leaves it. The EU accepts a hard border between NI and the Republic, which could affect the balance of power among the communities within NI. The entire UK remains in the Customs Union, which would maintain the statu quoi for both nationalists and unionists but at the same time which would disappoint the Pro-Brexiters

The ins and the outs of the current negotiations concerning the border question The demands of both nationalists and unionists can influence the negotiations. The best for the EU would be that NI remains part of the EU’s Customs Union. British negotiators have now reached a deadlock : UK tried to cloud the Irish border issue among the larger negotiations. The EU has the obvious advantage of its strong bargaining position and will definitely carry weight in the finale decision.

Conclusion Northern Ireland’s Brexit Problem : economic, political, diplomatic, social debate Mr Barnier : the EU’s Chiefs Brexit negotiator Leo Varadkar : the Irish PM
