    Ireland has been more or less independent for around a century. Since Northern Ireland has been a contentious issue at one point UK and Ireland decided that there’d be no border between Ireland (independent republic) and Northern Ireland (the UK part). Brexit brought new complications since Ireland is in the EU and UK, including Northern Ireland isn’t.
