No return to dark days of the Troubles

A return to the dark days of the Troubles in the North, with military checkpoints and a permanent divide, has been firmly ruled out by Irish and British leaders, writes Juno McEnroe.

But the “practical solutions” with regards to the North which will be put in place when Britain pulls the trigger and leaves the EU have yet to be revealed.

Both Enda Kenny and Theresa May yesterday hinted at what may become part of the arrangements, and the possibility of beefed-up security between the two islands.
