It's not insolvable.

It had been solved.

Between Irelend, Northern Ireland, the UK and the EU we'd created an jurisdiction and a geographic zone with a constructively ambiguous status and with sufficient protection for individual rights and for the various historic communities interests. What we needed was about three generations of peace, open borders, the rule of law and some sort of improvement in the material standard of living within the EU.

What we got was Farage and Cameron and the rest of the clown car parade that they ushered in.

No. It was ingeniously papered over, but it wasn't solved. This might have evolved into a solution in time, if the scab hadn't been picked over, but Brexit threatens to tear it wide open again.
