Not necessarily, because it works both ways: Unionists are not so adamant to be part of Britain and for Nationalists (pro-Ireland) it's not intolerable. In fact, there has been a very long growing trend of Catholics wanting the status quo, hence Reunification has not been a hot topic like Scottish Independence, for instance.
Brexit, Scottish Independence are more emotional issues and one of them actually happened, but it doesn't mean they'll keep going on. Governments in the region, for instance, seemed to become more cautious.
