Sigh!!! - much of Northern Ireland is rural, some of the farms even stride the border, therefore building a fence or a wall is impractical. Large parts of border counties both North and South are commonly referred to as 'Bandit territory'

We - the Irish - are aware of that UJ! It never stopped a 'border' being created before - why should it stop it now? Not that it is ever going to happen anyway.

My auntie in Newry had a house that straddled the border - the front door was in Eire - the back door was in NI.

As I said before ST, armchair politics are so easy, esp when those spouting off don't have to live with the fall out

Very true!

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see a totally united - harmonious and peaceful - Ireland - preferably out from under the jackboots of Europe as well.

I'll just go and put my Unicorn back in the stable and throw some bread to the children of Lir!
