Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Mr. Barnier's task force is very active. It is very well aware that one of the four priorities mentioned by him is specifically to deal with Northern Ireland and the implications of the current Border situation. I have made this perfectly clear to the British Government. Ireland is not going back to a situation where we have customs posts etc. on the hard Border. I have made the point that this would have serious consequences for us and could, without being any way alarmist about it, bring a return of some things that we do not want to ever see again in this country.
