The damage was done in Ireland many years ago. Northern Ireland should never have been created. One day Ireland will reunite but right now, the Protestants have a big say. It's not this generations fault that history has created this situation. The border issues will have to dealt with using good sense and sensivity or, as you say, it will give the extremists an excuse to kick off.

well put.

I quite agree but I'm yet to be convinced a solution exists that doesn't maintain a single market/customs union on the island of Ireland.

It's not this generations fault but current generations inherit the past so are responsible for dealing with it.

Indeed, going to be interesting how they get around this border issue, someones bound to be unhappy with the outcome!

I don't think this is an issue. We have had free movement of people with the Republic predating the EU. As for companies that import and export across the border they will have an electronic process and customs will audit that. There maybe some smuggling but that is not new been going on for years.

As I have said previously what the EU is really worried about is the potential loss of tax revenue if we drop our VAT rates.
