the struggle in N.Ireland will commence once again

Possibly. A couple of points.

The NI population know that the peace process can work now, any increase in violence will push them back to that process.

The UK is an economic basket case compared to the Republic of Ireland. Southern Ireland has EEC grants galore. Massive spending on infrastructure. Lots of modern manufacturing plants etc.

The typical UK taxpayer is not in the least interested in Northern Ireland, just a problem they would wish would go away. The security costs of NI have been enormous. What the NI majority of Protestants want (i.e. to remain part of Britain) is of almost zero interest. They are a very small minority in UK population. They should forget their bigotry and realize where the money is. It's not here in the UK, but there is plenty down in the Southern Republic.
