> It wouldn't really be a 'new' border though No, I meant "new" as in, "it wasn't there last year" :) I'm old enough to remember the border, and "the troubles" too. I also believe the removal of the border was a large factor in the cessation of hostilities, and the reason it's such a hot topic now. > With over 200 border crossing points it wasn't 100% enforced, though. My uncle used to have a house (he described it as such, to call it a shack would have been generous) in the south of France close to the Spanish border. Before freedom of movement they used to just walk into Spain as and when they pleased.
