Instauring a border between Ulster and Ireland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit_and_the_Irish_border#Good_Friday_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B

  What's Ulster got to do with it? I asked for a reference in the GFA, you've provided a Wikipedia link. Fantasy stuff in the HN comment threads as usual.

    You're being intentionally obtuse now. If you can't see why an open border is vital for the continued peace, and why removing it would place tension on a peace that took decades to achieve, then you've already made up your mind. I suppose I should have expected it when you blamed the EU for the self-inflicted woes of Brexit.

      I'm not in any way slow to understand, not in this case anyway. > If you can't see why an open border is vital for the continued peace, and why removing it would place tension on a peace that took decades to achieve, then you've already made up your mind. I didn't say that, and I'm not even going to engage your straw man. And I did not blame the EU for Brexit woes, I made a pretty basic statement of fact that would probably cover any negotiation, one which was intended only to signal compromise -- hence why the UK did not leave entirely -- not woe or blame.

  Ulster is not synonymous with Northern Ireland as counties Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan are very much part of Ireland.
