UK Parliament to consider leaving Ireland
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
We would like the UK Parliament to debate and consider returning the 6 counties of Ulster that make up the North of Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. This would remove any current or future problems over the border issue in any Brexit negotiations.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is a decision for the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland following a referendum, not the UK Parliament and Government.
