Guaranteed: No hard border for North

A “bulletproof” deal hammered out between the EU and the UK now guarantees there will be no hard border with the North, paving the way for a soft Brexit.

The days of border checks appear to have been consigned to the history books after British prime minister Theresa May and the EU finally signed off on a deal around the border post-Brexit.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar welcomed the deal, describing it as “cast-iron” and “politically bulletproof”.
