Leaders: No plans for hard border with the North

A hard border involving military and customs check points in the North has been categorically ruled out by Taoiseach Enda Kenny and British prime minister Theresa May in the wake of Brexit.

Mr Kenny yesterday signalled for the first time that measures to monitor the movements of people and goods over the border could involve modern technology.

Ms May noted that the borders between Ireland and Britain would be strengthened, through a common use or sharing of air passenger data.
