John Kerry warns of risk to peace process if border changes with the North

US secretary of state John Kerry has warned of the risk to the peace process if there are changes to the border with the Republic on the back of Brexit.

Collecting the Tipperary International Peace Prize for 2015, Mr Kerry said: “People need to be really careful with downstream consequences. That one choice can have an impact on other aspects and whatever happens to the border, how that border access is managed.

“It’s really critical that it be done very thoughtfully and very sensitively so that it does not have any impact.”
