Maybe there are 3 parties (at least) here. The UK (including NI), the EU (including Eire) and Ireland (both NI and Eire) and they all have different agendas and desires.

The UK wants NI as part of the UK with no restrictions between the 2 but controls between UK and EU

The EU has Eire and wants free movement there but controls between UK and EU
The Irish want freedom on the island but some want to be politically part of UK and part want a united Ireland, the latter probably less care about who externally they are joined to than uniting Ireland.

Even when we were part of the EU there was still that tension between groups in Ireland ready to bubble up if something got out of kilter too much away from their aims. And too often it was men of violence who gained from the instability that wanted to keep the violence going. They are still there and ready to restart their respective campaigns.
