And it was before the GFA, because it involved the smuggling (south) of the pigs/cattle that went north to cash the subsidy.

What's rude about presenting facts? Okay, it's hard to face reality, that takes real strength.

Am I to understand that you are still dizzy from decades on a carousel? No problem, let's take the straight road for debate.

So without passport checks on the ROI/NI border or in the Irish Sea what’s to stop any European flying to Dublin, travelling to NI by way of the the common travel area and birding a ferry to the UK and then disappearing into the black economy?

Conversely the EU would not want goods entering the EU without payment of any tariffs that may be due which would be all to easy without some kind of border checks be they manual or a tech solution which doesn’t yet exist

So would you be happy with the above scenario ?

He would have to show his passport. Ireland is not in Schengen.

Can you please read what I'm putting on here ? Why do you ask the same question? Do you not understand how trade works ?

Do you honestly believe customs officials open up all the lorries and boxes etc ? Its fine on line !

Read smart border 2 - its the EU solution they came up with

Why do we need to do checks on borders ? We don't do that now

Jeez

Oh dear, you seem to be having comprehension problems again

Yes a citizen of another EU country would have their passport checked at the point of entry into the ROI, at least you understand that.

But please enlighten me as to how the UK will prevent any of them illegally entering the UK if we do not intend to have hard border checks or any tech solution to prevent that

The ROI cannot refuse entry to any EU citizen so they are not going to be of any use and one of the key brexiteer arguments was the control of immigration and yet you suggest leaving the back door open

Additionally, a colleague of mine Postulated the other day that other countries may lodge a complaint with the WTO if we offer open boarders to one country whilst trading under WTO rules and not to all.
