You make it sound like the EU thought this "border issue" up and got the Irish Goverment on board. It was very much the Irish Goverment that have been screeming about this ever since the referendum was called.
Security borders and trade borders are not the same thing. During "The Troubles" the border was manned to stop the IRA, etc, launching attacks from safe areas on the other side of the border.
There has NEVER been a trade border on the island of Ireland.
Both EU and WTO rules stiplulate that there HAS to be one.
No matter what deal is finally done, if any, Ireland will be the looser. Do you know that Ireland is the UK's 5th biggest trading partner, and the UK has a trade surpulus with Ireland.
