Taoiseach under fire for border soldiers warning

The Taoiseach has come under fire for “inflaming tensions” with “reckless and irresponsible” warnings of a return to soldiers and checkpoints along the border if there is a no-deal Brexit.

Opposition parties have rounded on Leo Varadkar after he painted a graphic picture of a return to the border of the Troubles with physical infrastructure, cameras, and an army presence which he said could become a terrorist target.
