I have answered this question in this committee already but I am happy to say it again. The Irish Government has made clear that we will not be putting checks or procedures in place on our Border. The reasons for that transcend the discussion we are having about economics or trade policy.

I know the consequences of doing that would stretch all over our island and deeply affect the stability and peace that we have. It is for those reasons that the Government continues to be clear in its objective.
