Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Edgar Morgenroth:

We have seen what happens with referendums in the UK when people do not have the detail and then suddenly find themselves with all sorts of problems that were not foreseen. We had better be prepared with analysis. We contribute some and others will contribute more. We will be much better off if we and the Government are prepared and the citizens are informed than if we have essentially what Britain did with the Brexit referendum. That would also be a disaster, if people suddenly find that they voted for something they do not like. That is probably the situation in the UK now in relation to Brexit.
