Regina Doherty says government not preparing for hard border in Ireland

The Government will continue to “fully explain” what is in the deal, that the backstop is not a threat and “will not be there forever.”

Social Protection Minister Regina Doherty is adamant that the Government is not preparing for a border on the island of Ireland post Brexit.

She told RTE’s Morning Ireland that the Government is preparing contingency plans, but they do not include plans for patrolling a border.
