When England finally has to own up to Brexit, Ireland nor Scotland have to follow them. Indeed, Scotland only stayed in the UK because England promised to stay in the EU. What this means is that Ireland will have a chance to be part of Europe, as opposed to being England's prisoner. However, if the Catholic Church continued to dominate Ireland, then it would be a hindrance, as France, italy, Spain, etc have pretty much told the church it can go to Hell.

Welcome to the world ireland, I wish America was joining you, but we have our own Church-savages to defeat!
