Dublin: What do people in the capital know about Northern Ireland?

Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris caused a bit of controversy recently when he commented on how Irish people may not always be aware of the comings and goings in Northern Ireland.

"If I’m being very honest, I'm of a generation where people are more familiar now with London and Berlin and Paris than they might be with Belfast or Derry.”

But how much truth is in those comments?

BBC News NI went to Technological University Dublin to see what people there knew about Northern Ireland.

You can see the full feature on The View on BBC One NI from 23:10 BST on Thursday and later on the iPlayer.
