It would be possible, by vote, for us to 'take' Scotland in somehow without the North, but very unlikely.
Biggest threat to Ireland from the whole Brexit thing (imo) is that we'll be somehow put in position of having to accept United Ireland. Cost implications for us of bringing all their public servants up to our standards, their huge social welfare class to our levels etc... would be enormous.
If we thought taking hit on the Banks a couple of years ago was 'taking one for the team' - the sheer money implications of taking in our Northern Brethern would be ginormous.
