The UK and Northern Ireland are scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, 2019. Under a transition agreement all trade and economic relations between the UK and the EU will remain the same until the end of 2022. In 2018 members of parliament and Prime Minister Theresa May proposed a “backstop” which would allow the UK and Northern Ireland to remain inside the EU’s single market for goods and farm products. Proponents argue that keeping the UK in the EU’s customers area will boost the economy by streamlining trade and tourism. Opponents, including anti-EU lawmakers, argue that the backstop would lock the UK inside the EU’s customs area permanently and prevent it from signing trade deals on its own.

No, but Northern Ireland should become part of Ireland to prevent treaty issues and causing a civil war.

It should be decided by the UK and Northern Ireland. They should be allowed to, or allowed not to, but it potentially boosting the economy should definitely be taken into consideration.
@9B8R6PL2yrs2Y
Yes, but they don't get a say
@99QZ5H92yrs2Y
Just Northern Ireland, Ireland should unify and NI should get automatic EU membership
@99HM8S42yrs2Y
No, it will hurt their economy and prevents other nations from leaving
