Enda Kenny's seamless border dream with North is 'unenforceable'

Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s hopes and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s promise to maintain a seamless and friction free Irish border is unenforceable, it has been claimed.

Talk of a frictionless border after Brexit are just nice words, according to a customs expert appearing yesterday before the House of Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee yesterday.

Michael Lux, the former head of the European Commission’s customs procedures, for the first time set out the practical implications of Brexit. Independent unionist MP Sylvia Hermon asked Mr Lux if Mrs May could achieve “a seamless border”.
