Abstract

The vote by the United Kingdom on 23 June 2016 to leave the European Union presented Ireland with some very difficult choices, in particular between its commitment to protecting the Good Friday Agreement and its membership of the EU’s Customs Union and Single Market. Immediately on 24 June 2016, the sense in Dublin was one that the exit of the UK from the EU constituted an existential threat to Ireland, and in particular to peace on the island. While entirely accepting of the legitimacy of the decision, the Irish government led by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, set about limiting the potential damage caused to Ireland.
