Australia changed it if any New Zealander wants to have government subsidies education. they have to be Australian Citizen but years ago. kiwi can come an study here and have the same social benefits like the aussie. the way is going in EU now, the german flipped out so much money to bail out euro. if it keeps going like this, you never know what the more wealthier EU member states will do.
about the northern ireland thing someone mentioned in this post. UK government did put in lots of money over the year for NI. forget about the trouble created by british and the irish government. one of the main reason that uk government has not let go NI is uk own problem itself. if uk let go of northern ireland. guess what the scottish and welsh nationalist will say about that. but JAJ is right. the EU agreement can change anytime without anyone seeing it coming!
The UK ain't going to get rid of NI when a substantial part of that community wants to remain in the UK. Also, if we are to believe, even under Thatcher, the English government do not have any selfish reasons for keeping NI. If the people wished to join the Rep or become an idependent country, there is little the boys in Westminister can do about it.
As for the changes, please produce evidence that immigration changes in the EU have come out of nowhere? It normally takes 2-5 years before its implemented.
The difference is, people born in the North will be automatically Irish citizens under Bunreacht na hÉireann and / or the Citizenship Act. Our Right Hon Friend Mr Ian Paisley could walk into Kildare Street seeking an Irish Passport.
