"No Irish politician will want to be remembered as the one who brought back partition..."

Erm, partition still exists.

But to answer the point I think you're trying to make, the overwhelming view in Ireland is that any further infrastructure placed along the border will be solely or primarily blamed on the Brits. They're the ones whom are unilaterally taking the action and be willing to break an international treaty to do so. Neither the Republic of Ireland or the EU are doing anything themselves that would see them actively want to do the same, but are willing to respect rules, laws and treaties regarding international matters. Even if it means for the Irish Government having to bite their lip in the short term.
