Support for Ireland remaining in the EU is at 88% in Ireland and 79% in Northern Ireland, an opinion poll suggests.
When asked to choose who they feel closest to, 65% of people in Ireland said they feel closest to Europe, followed by none of the above at 18%, and Britain at 12%.
This compares to 60% in Northern Ireland who feel closest to Europe, and 30% who said Britain and 9% who said none of the above.
A nationally representative sample of 1,200 people living north and south of the border were asked to fill out an online questionnaire between 2-5 June.
The data was collected by Lucid Talk and Amarach Research, and analysed by VoxCo on behalf of the European Movement Ireland.
It found that in Northern Ireland, 71% of people who said they voted leave in the Brexit referendum indicated that they support Ireland remaining a member of the EU.
A majority (66%) of people in Northern Ireland said that the region is doing worse since Brexit, which compares to 51% in Ireland who believe the same.
Some 64% of respondents who said they voted leave in the 2016 Brexit referendum believe Northern Ireland is doing worse.
Three quarters of people in Northern Ireland and 51% in Ireland believe that Northern Ireland should be represented in the European Parliament, the survey found.
did anyone expect otherwise?
I mean, they saw the Tory shitshow first hand. A lot of companies even moved to Ireland to remain in the single market. No sane person thinks that Brexit is a success.
Is that even possible without reunification? What’s strange to me is that these percentages are much higher than the support for reunification itself. Would the northern Irish just be happy with independence and rejoining EU?
