    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You have never succeeded in bringing the dialogue much about 1 m. Was this a failure in your initial potty training?. I am fully aware of human tragedy,but grandstanding on this will serve no purpose. There is no way,an American citizen can be forced by Mr Trump to leave the USA,once there. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The lead item on the Irish RTE news service, is a panicked or extremely frustrated response from the Ulster Farmers ,who make the observation that they will need to be dumping 0.6 million gallons( perhaps litres ) of milk ,in a Crash out scenario. There is insufficient Processing capacity in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know it is hard, but if I were the US Charge d'Affair, I would have instructed the family to leave. Part of the deal of being in the Diplomatic Service is that one is under military service conditions of obeying legitimate orders and stuff identical to the Official Secrets Act. That family...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think instead the action would be to engage in a civil suit in the USA. There is a wrongful death of an innocent person in a non war situation and either herself or the US Government , whose agent she was are responsible. Its not jail time..but it hurts Americans where they feel it most..in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree it is shameful behaviour. But note how quickly official Ireland, as the Taoiseach ,responded when brought to his attention. Yes it is only a soundbite, but it was the right sound.

    No. Which part of there is a Deal,(which covers these things), and which the UK,alone of all the 28 states has failed to ratify. have you failed to understand?.

    Sorry 50, you don't get to decide what DI is or is not.DI is either Total or it does not exist. An Accredited Diplomat cannot be held in ANYWAY accountable by the host country for their actions. They can be held accountable by their home country. The only logical way of looking at this is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ..It will come as a surprise, but there are direct flights to Canada,USA, Emirates, as well as most European countries, from that airport. So Rabies, Quarantine etc are well established. Transatlantic flight between Ireland and the American continent predates British American traffic. In fact...

    I think this is getting conflated with Rabies control. Since the UK and Ireland have a similar Rabies regime, animal quarantine for boat passengers would be located traditionally at those ports. But I am sure the airport's ..all of them have facilities. Dublin port has taken over from Rosslare...

    Part of me, was hoping that they or the Poles would veto. I think the UK needs a reality check. But I fear the consequences.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well it requires an amendment to the Withdrawal Act,so does need to be voted on in the HoC. I was surprised how cavalier that process was for the last extension. Basically it was moved in these Terms. "This is just technical ,,Our Representative to the EU has said we are taking an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your first point does make sense...but see my counter argument above. The second point is a licence for tyranny. Look to the Local Government provisions in NI ,which led to the outbreak in 1969. Wards, and voting was arranged by the local councils. The only people who could vote for councils...

    No. That was actually your second point, when your first one failed to have traction. There is a disparity in representative numbers which Woosh,not yourself pointed out. .Come on now, credit where it is due. As my truncated edit tried to point out, the EU is very keen to get representative...

    Again you are shifting the argument. Your last point was that because Croatia did not come out in large numbers, they should be somewhat penalised. You will be delighted to know that when the UK finally leaves, the EU will be redistributing their seats to help equilise the distribution, and...

    We have gone over that ground before. It is equal opportunity not equal outcome. It is the freely expressed democratic wish of those people who did not vote not to vote.. unless you have information to the contrary.
