Imagine how Unionists would beel about needing ID to go to the rest of the UK, andnot needing it to go to Ireland.
Plus, as of today, there is no ID requirement in the UK, and no optional national id. You'd need a driver's licence or a passport to go from Northern Ireland to England. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."

But you do already. How do you go between the two places other than by plane or by car/ferry boat?
And yeah, I understand about the symbol. Just hide it behind "security". We don't seem to mind in airports. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Well, the point here is that Norway would have had to abandon the Nordic open border agreements, and given the choice they decided to join Schengen. The UK doesn't trust Europe and so whould rather close the border with Ireland if Ireland joined Schengen. But Ireland is in a situation of dependence with respect to the Uk here, so they stay out of Schengen. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
