Re: Has the backstop back-fired on Ireland? (4.00 / 2)
Questions: should Brexit happen with no deal, what would happen at the Irish border?

Would the Irish government be compelled to implement checks on goods entering the Republic from the UK?

Failing that, would it push EU27 countries to start customs checks on goods from Ireland as well as from the UK?

It has always one of the Brexiters "solutions" to pull Ireland into a "UK customs union", obviously away from the EU Single Market.
