There's only the rump of Northern Ireland that is part of the UK. Eire, as you know, is an independent state. Ulster is fiercely Unionist, apart from the Catholic minority that hates the British, for their historical cruelty there. If Scotland had gone independent, I would have suggested Wales might've followed, but not Northern Ireland.

To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
