Ahah.
So that then stuffs Irish in NI as that becomes BrexitLand.
But according to the GFA Irish in NI have the same rights as Brits in NI. So by Brits (England basically but not London or NI Or Scotland and no longer Wales either) going BrexitLand everyone gets downgraded...fairly ;)
Equality strikes ;)

Yeah at that point we're back to square one:
1) UK and IE will be under different rules as not in the EU together anymore
2) UK and NI can't really be treated differently
3) IE and NI can't really be treated differently due to GFA
This basic issue is not only relevant for the customs question, but also for lots of other stuff, and for all the talk of 'backstops' to cover the problem up I still have not heard how they are proposing to solve this fundamental incompatibility.
Or am I missing something?

So this is an interesting fact btw: it depends on how the tuition fees are determined. For example, in my experience some people have the misconception that as a UK citizen, you will pay home fees by default. Unfortunately that's not true - as it stands, where you've lived trumps your citizenship. I.e. if you're a UK citizen that has lived outside of the EU for too long, you're shit out of luck and paying international fees.
I think it works the same in Ireland, so you need to have lived in an EU country for 3 out of the last 5 years - even if you have Irish citizenship. So for the short term, having citizenship but living in the UK would help, but in 2 years, that'd be over too (if you're just living in post-Brexit UK).
