And it's the same for me as an EU national: Why would I not care about the UK people? (I even defend Northern Ireland I mean...hello...). I do, but I find it hard with this brexit vote. Now I am suddenly "the problem" according to politics...
Ireland, as a whole, was not interesting for immigration for a long time and it lead to a somewhat closed society with ingrained attitudes. People coming in from elsewhere makes everything think and forces change.
And as a whole most people don't mind visitors (if the visitors behave, what that is, well that's of course up for discussion!) with some people in NI being pleasantly surprised that others now WANT to come here.
But the government KNOWS these challenges are coming. It's like come on, same things happen everywhere, somebody somewhere has a solution, do they even Google/speak to others/academic?
