    So we regularly share lifts with other families for our kids going to sports training in the north. 2-3 times a week.

    In the post Brexit scenarios will it still be possible to travel out of the EU bringing children not accompanied by either parent ?

    Assuming everyone is either an Irish or British national, there is no immediate expectation of issues relating to the movement of those people.

    People who only have other nationalities may be subject to some passport checks and goods would likely to be subject to some checks.

    It's not expected that there'll be any new movement controls on people at the Irish border, regardless of what kind of Brexit unfolds.

    While one of the UK's objectives in leaving the EU is to end free movement of people, whatever restrictions are introduced will not be primarily enforced at borders. The plan is, for example, that EU citizens will still enjoy the right of entry visa-free into the UK. In-country controls will be applied to prevent them settling in the UK, and to identify and remove them if they do.

    All of which means that the UK has no plans to police movement of people across the Irish border. Both the UK and Ireland are committed to maintaining the Common Travel Area, and the EU is supportive. So you shouldn't have any difficulty. Might be different if you're driving a milk truck.

    If they are not white, I'd assume there will be more hassle from racist officials.

    In the early days realistically they'll be too busy stopping goods vehicles to even look at any cars.

    The border will now be new. It has been there since 1922!
