How can one deal with that? The Estonian GoSwift service operates at three major crossing points but we have a Border that is so porous. In Donegal there are dozens of ways that I can travel the Border. If I am travelling up in Inishowen, will I be diverted to a checkpoint in Letterkenny? What if I am travelling down in Pettigo? We are not going back to the situation where we are closing the Border roads. There are hundreds of crossings. Is it possible to do that?
