Some of the Brexiteers among you may be blaming the Irish goverment for this situation, but you must understand how integrated social and business life is between The Republic and N.I.
There are 208 crossing points between the two, which is more crossing points than down the whole eastern border of the EU.
The route of the border is nonsensical , it is a result of gerrymandering to maximise the Protestant population in N.I.
The last line is crucial.
"There were just 20 border crossings open during the Troubles, but today hundreds of border roads blocked during the years of conflict are now back in use."
The Irish Goverment and local border communties just will not accept going back to the past. The vote in N.I was split with the NE area (around Belfast) voting leave, while the rest voted remain.

The Irish Goverment, Tony Blair and John Major were warning about this during the campaign but nobody was listening.
