Storyline


Anti-Brexit protesters gathered in Belfast in Northern Ireland on Friday to voice their concerns as Britain officially left the European Union (EU) at 23:00 on Friday evening.

Protesters from various groups and members of political party Sinn Fein took to the streets to express their displeasure, with many saying they were sad to witness this pivotal moment for Northern Ireland.

Politically, the island of Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland, which covers five-sixths of the land, and Northern Ireland, which is part of Britain. Brexit has brought huge concerns with the border between the two sides being a highly contentious issue, as Northern Ireland leaves the EU with Britain, while the Republic of Ireland remains in the EU.

Declan Fearon, head of the Border Communities Against Brexit organization, said that Brexit has brought many complications for ordinary people living in the border area.

"It's a sad day for the communities who live and work, especially for people within our communities who live in one side of the border and work on the other. And there's so, so many of those. At the moment they are having serious issues in trying to get mortgages and trying to get insurances, and those are just some of the underground problems that are there. So we are certainly not rejoicing on this Brexit at all," he said.

Anti-Brexit protesters came to Stormont, where the coalition government and parliament of Northern Ireland is located, to ask for a referendum after Brexit. They hope that they can join the EU with a new identity in the future.

Friday evening also saw a number protests being held along the border of the Northern Ireland, with many worried about the impacts Brexit will bring.

"On the border there are 300 crossing points from north to south, we will be at quite a lot of those (protests) from 21:30. We won't be celebrating Brexit because Brexit is a disaster. It's going to make border communities a lot poorer," said a protest organizer.

"This evening we will be leaving the European Union. Our priority throughout this entire process has been ensuring that Ireland's interest were protected, that our peace agreement was protected, and that there was no hardening of the border on the island of Ireland, " said Caoimhe Archibald, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of Northern Ireland who joined Friday's protest.

Across the United Kingdom, the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Northern Ireland Assembly have all been opposed to Brexit, with the regional divisions set to pose a major long-term challenge.
