Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The point is if the land frontier between the European Union and the British state will be on the island of Ireland, it will be a hard economic border. Sin é. There is no doubt whatever about that. We have been pointing that out and also pointing out a solution. If there is a special designated status, the frontier would be moved off the island of Ireland or at least to the coastal area of the island of Ireland, as opposed to across the island of Ireland from Dundalk to Derry. Given that the Taoiseach is failing to pick up that proposition, will he tell us why that is so?
