There was trade before the border went away. Too many people are just stuck on how things are now. Remember the story of the man who didn't know it couldn't be done so he went out and did it?

I think if you put a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, you'd see a united Ireland within a decade.

Trump broke her

The collapse of May’s Government is 100% because of the failure to finalize Brexit and 0% because of anything/everything else.

Maybe. I have to say that prospect does not bother me, even though I think it would make NI worse off, and ROI would be no better off. Basically, if the people of NI want to reunite, let them.

The British are not even remotely interested in creating a hard border. If that happens, it will be done by ROI and it’s masters in the EU.
