The UK and Ireland may both want to preserve the Common Travel Area, but I don't think Ireland has any say in the matter. It will be up to the European Union, or more accurately the commissioners.
- antillean 11y agoEh, what? Hasn't the ROI had a say up to now? What's about to change? Is the EC about to invade the ROI?
- aembleton 11y agoThe EU requires protection of it's external border by member states. The ROI would be required to protect it's border with the UK. If it failed to do so, the EU could withhold funding from it, in effect fining them.
- antillean 11y agoAh How does that work with Norway and Switzerland? Or is that different because they're members of the Schengen?
