Government scouts new Border customs locations

Identifying location points for full customs checkpoints along the border with the North has begun under Government plans to deal with Brexit, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

The Government is preparing for the return of a hard border in the wake of Brexit including the return of full ‘red and green channel’ checkpoints, internal documents show.

“No one is aiming for a soft Brexit anymore, it is now about preparing for the worst,” said one minister.
