You say you are going from Ireland to Scotland, as if your mere presence would somehow lend credibility to your dubious, patently politicized claims?
Yes the Irish made plenty of sacrifices for the Celtic economic miracle, only made possible by entry into the EU!
Then made into an allegorical ruin with a roof, by the involvement of foreign debt laden speculation in their real estate market!
And then only because perverse, self serving politicians, with it would seem, your moribund mindset, tried to rescue them using the people's money, when they should have been allowed to fall!
Yes, a seemingly progressive Theresa May allowed herself to be manipulated by the waiting in the wings new leader, Boris Johnson, to back brexit, and without a clue to its full yet to be felt ramifications! And just to regain absolute sovereign control of sovereign borders!
Europe not responsible for the debacle, just demonstrable dementia and those, who through their implacable iron-willed resolve, manifest its earliest stages, handed absolute control of outcomes, created an absolute dog's breakfast, out of brexit and the british economy!
Starting way back, with Arthur Scargill and nemesis Maggie Thatcher, who between them, more than anybody, created the british disease and its economic aftermath, which saw Britain enter the GFC as a mostly service industry economy and therefore, among the first to fail and fall the furthest!
There's a way back, just not with the B.J., M.T., A.S. initiated economic shrink-wrap, inmates in charge of the asylum, recipe!
