DUBLIN - Britain is proposing to set up “customs clearance centers” on both sides of the Irish border after Brexit, Irish national broadcaster RTE reported on Monday, an idea Ireland’s foreign minister quickly dismissed as a “non-starter”.
Connelly reported that the details came from technical papers, or so-called “non-papers”, sent from London to Brussels, of which he had seen extracts. How to handle the border between the Republic of Ireland, an EU member, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, has proved to be the thorniest issue in the Brexit negotiations.
“Non-Paper=Non-Starter. Time the EU had a serious proposal from the UK Govt if a Brexit deal is to be achievable in October. NI and IRE deserves better!” Coveney said on Twitter after the RTE report.
