Ireland (like most of the "remain" counties) was very borderline and only just voted "remain", it's not a landslide or large majority by any means.
I'm more shocked a Birmingham. Being a large, liberal city with a massive immigrant population I actually was expecting a landslide "remain" here.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
