Irexit would not be an Irish nationalist revolution. On the contrary, it would be the end of Irish nationalism. In 1960, 75 per cent of Irish exports went to the UK. Now, just 18 per cent of Irish service exports and 14 per cent of Irish goods exports are to the UK. Just 10 years later, Irish exports to EEC countries other than the UK stood at £968 million.
