What the petition asks
The people of Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU in the recent referendum. Northern Ireland is in a unique situation within the UK and within Ireland. Free movement within Ireland will be effected this will unstable all Irish society and relations throughout the island and border regions.
The people of Northern Ireland feel there interests and Irelands is best served as a whole by remaining in the EU. This is agreed North and South on an all Island basis due to results of the referendum in Northern Ireland and pre referendum advice by the majority of all Irish political parties North and South to remain. This will effect free movement, border regions, families, businesses. A United Ireland would be stronger as one within the EU and be able to provide a better future for all.
