What will Ireland do, and will Ulster follow Irish or UK time?

Will UK follow, staying on GMT or BST, or keep switching?

"Under the new legislation, governments opting to make summer-time permanent
would adjust their clocks for the last time on the last Sunday in March 2021.
For those choosing permanent standard time, known as permanent winter-time, the
final clock change would be on the last Sunday of October 2021."
