This is a exciting opportunity for the Irish government.
They get a chance to tell Brussels to go to hell.
Build the Wall.
Yeah, Ireland is not what it was. Don’t expect a lot of machismo from that PM fellow and the pathetically liberal legislature (it’s too bad there are no meaningful conservative parties in Ireland - imagine how frustrating it must be for the one third of the country that voted against abortion, for example, to not have any representation in their government.)
Anyway, if neither the Republic or the UK sets up a hard border, what is Brussels going to do, send in its own clowns? What a farce.
