DUBLIN - Britain is proposing to set up “customs clearance centres” on both sides of the Irish border after Brexit in order to avoid the need for border checks on the border itself, Irish state broadcaster RTE reported on Monday.
The British government is expected to present new proposals to the EU to try and break the deadlock this week. Connelly reported that the details came from technical papers sent from London to Brussels, of which he had seen extracts. The Irish and British governments and the EU all say that they want to avoid border checks and physical infrastructure on the border because those could re-ignite tensions over Northern Ireland’s political status.
