Brexit

[DrPatrickBarry]

Interesting, I googled Niall Cody and found the article you probably referenced for your comment.

But then in other search results his departement said the complete opposite.

But just think about a completly open border. A UK company imports some dodgy foodstuffs from Brazil for example, into Liverpool sends it across to Belfast and then by truck down to Dublin, where it can be distributed throughout the EU, without any checks. The EU would have to rely on on a 3rd country to ensure that products entering their jurisdiction meet their standards.

In reverse would the UK allow that?
Why should the EU?

If ireland does not enforce the single market border then Ireland itself would be kicked out.


All your comments about "Trusted Trader" works fine at ports.
As I said earlier a truck arrives at a port and if everything checkout he is allowed to board the boat.
A truck arrives at a N.I border crossing and a camera, (that has not had a visit from a dissentient angle grinder) reads the number plate and if all checks out he continues on his journey and if it does not check out he continues on his journey.

Never mind that there are 275 crossing points, it would be impossible to police.
