I'm sure they'd prefer the UK to take the rap for a hard border. | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 11:31 | comment | added | Hoki | @ian, The Republic of Ireland is still part of the EU and as such has to respect decision of the ECJ. The EU could simply take Ireland to court to force them to implement a border (court sanctions could be fines or economic sanctions until the matter is resolved). Ireland would have only a few choices ... pay the fines forever, implement the border, or also leave the EU ... | |
| Aug 10, 2019 at 8:23 | comment | added | ian | @Daniel That could be true, but as Ireland's Taoiseach has repeatedly said (in the Irish parliament and beyond) Ireland will not put up a hard border. I'm wondering how the EU (as a separate institution to the Irish government) would do it in those circumstances? | |
| Aug 9, 2019 at 22:43 | comment | added | Daniel | "I presume the EU cannot legally force a country that is not a member to enforce its border with them" – While true, the EU can just enforce the border on its side of the border. | |

| Mar 4, 2018 at 16:46 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | @iain: Because the Council, the EC, and the EP all made it clear that ECJ jurisdiction was a sine qua none condition to getting a soft border. | |
| Mar 4, 2018 at 16:22 | comment | added | ian | @DenisdeBernardy How would refusing ECJ jurisdiction affect the hardness of the border? | |

| Mar 4, 2018 at 7:44 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | By definition if the UK leaves the single market it'll end up with a border. The question revolves around how hard that border will be. At one end the UK is adamant about refusing freedom of movement and ECJ jurisdiction - i.e. it'll necessarily end up being a hard border. At another respecting the Good Friday agreement mandates a soft border in Ireland. And yet another the UK wants no border in the Irish Sea. Having all three at the same time is unlikely if not possible. | |
