The Minister should be aware of the fact that there are no external borders within/without Schengen Territory states/countries. Thus, there are NO BORDERS within Schengen. The Border only exists for those entering or leaving Schengen and the border guards work together to guard ALL the external borders. Their priority is to guard the entire Schengen border that includes their own specific country also. So when you enter say France, you must enter Schengen....you are allowed into Schengen then France.......
Any abuse of this, such as passport checks that take place on internal Schengen country borders, should be reported to Brussels and they are taken seriously. Checks may take place outside a 30 km range of the border. I have had to formally complain about Spain.....

In Ireland the border guards (The Garda) protect and defend the borders of the twenty-six counties exclusively............... an absolutely selfish -mé féin- act.
