This Northern Irish man’s opinion on Brexit has got us thinking

A lot of important points here.

The Brexit saga continues.

Britain was plunged into a state of shock last Friday after it was announced that the country had voted to leave the EU.

The Leave side was euphoric with a 51.9% win, just fighting off the Remain camp with 48.1%.

In the days that have followed, there has been much talk about what Brexit could mean for Ireland, and if a referendum regarding the unification of Ireland might be called.

It could also affect travel between Ireland and Northern Ireland as well as trade between us and Britain.

Enda Kenny called a meeting of the Dáil today to discuss the matter and we had an exclusive interview with Sinn Féin leader, Gerry Adams to get his take on things.

Spotted on JOE.ie, another man who has raised some valid questions, is Twitter user Seamas O’Reilly, which are outlined below in full.

These tweets are in chronological order so to get the full effect of what Seamus is saying, it’s advisable to start reading from the bottom.
