Fears over Brexit effect on UK-Ireland border

(9 Oct 2019) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4233845 The small ferry moves gently across the calm waters of Carlingford Lough, connecting the picturesque hamlet of Greencastle in Northern Ireland with the village of Greenore, a mile and a half (2.4 kilometers) away in the Republic of Ireland. It began sailing a little more than two years ago, saving farmers, commuters and tourists an hour-long drive inland to the nearest bridge. The service is another sign that the border has all but vanished since the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998, ending decades of sectarian violence, replaced with a quiet sense of normality older generations cherish and younger people can take for granted. But if the UK leaves the European Union on October 31 without a Brexit divorce deal, this local boat could find itself plying an international border. Paul O'Sullivan, the ferry company's Managing Director said, "Brexit has resulted in chaos for our company." With both in the EU, the border barely resonates. As members, both the UK and Ireland have to abide by the rules of the club - the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. In a no-deal Brexit, that all goes and the border - the only land border between the UK and the EU - will resonate once again.
