Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputies will understand why I will avoid answering hypothetical questions in future. We have not made any preparations for physical infrastructure on the Border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. No matter what happens, deal or no deal, the European Union and Ireland will do everything that we can to avoid a hard border emerging on our island.

I am amused by Deputy Micheál Martin's many conspiracy theories; I should keep a small notebook of them. As always, his conspiracy theory on this is far off the mark.
