I really think people should be aware of the significance of hard borders to Ireland, both in terms of economics and of peace and The Good Friday Agreement
I sometimes feel that even the best intentioned are not and regard it as just another obstacle, when in fat it is literally a life-and-death issue - a return to the killing-fields of the seventies
This will continue to be the case while Ireland is partitioned - still a hangover from the glorious 'Empire Days'
