    Brexit, for once some facts.

    herein lies the key..... Leo and Forster met (ROI/NI) a while back and both agreed there should be a `sensible` border, but the EU dug their heels in and said that wouldn't be acceptable. The ball is firmly within the EU`s court.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You`re missing my point, that wouldn`t change, neither would your trade with the rest of the UK, everything inter Irl/UK would be as it is now, i`m talking of an economic agreement along with the UK not a political one. Big question of course is will the people of ROI be better off in or out of...

    No, no, i didn`t mean rejoining the UK, keeping your present status politically but leaving the EU and negotiating alongside the UK.
