If we are serious about avoiding a hard Border and maintaining the common travel area, rather than spoofing, why not tell Mr. Barnier and the European Union that our officials will not physically co-operate with or tolerate any attempt to impose a hard Border? If the EU negotiates a deal which does not ensure that we keep the Border open and maintain the common travel area, we should have a referendum and reject the deal. The Taoiseach should give such a commitment.
