We both recognised that Ireland is the only EU Member State that shares a land border with the UK. We are in agreement that we don’t wish to see any return to the borders of the past on the island of Ireland.

Today’s meeting also gave us the opportunity to have a broader discussion on the common issues of concern in the context of the referendum result such as our close trading relationship and the benefits of the Common Travel Area.

For our part, we have already made very clear our view Ireland is very much committed to staying in the EU. We want the upcoming negotiation process to end with a prosperous and outward-looking UK which retains a close relationship with the EU. This is in all of our interests.

    Sending Enda in to negotiate for anything is a joke. He’ll come away with some magic beans.

    Worst negotiator ever!

      he’ll just assume the position that merkle taught him – it’ll give theresa great laughs on a boring tuesday afternoon

    I bet Theresa May can’t even understand what he’s saying. Just smile and pat him on the head.

    I used to work with a buffoon like him. They use that image to appear non-threatening do deflect attention from their wily ways. Don’t be taken in by the village idiot facade.

        Well the guy I knew wasn’t.

        Well you know what, he was. Thought he was smarter than he was in the end. Cost him.

          Yup, we have way too much time for the idea of the ‘cute hoor’.

          Most of ’em end up not being quite so clever.

    People of Mayo have voted this guy in for the last how many decades. What are they thinking? Then again didn’t they vote in Ms Mulherne in 2011..

      Do you think Mrs May wore her slippers more to be on a similar height level to him rather than going “Enda is it? Ah, no need to bother changing into my pinchy shoes”.

    The border has to be implemented as there isn’t free movement of goods from outside to inside the EU…….and the sooner this happens the better

    1. Scundered

      …I think you’ll find a big blind eye will be cast on this, as peace and stability is more important factor, and the landmass of the north is too small to worry about. There is no demand for a border from either side.

      Someone told me recently there wold be a hard border over his dead body. I walked away thinking yeah…. there will be a lot of dead bodies.

      1. Scundered

        the whole debacle is ridiculous, reminds me of Harry Enfield and his “calm down calm down” sketches, nobody has demanded change yet the media are getting into a frenzy about it.

        1. some old queen

          Problem is, there has to be a border somewhere. I predict what will happen is the same at the jurisdiction entry/exit and a real one at the air and ferry ports.

          And then, Belfast will turn into Calis as the immigrants figure they will have a better chance while being IN the UK. Loads of angry young foreign men roaming around the streets is just what the ever tolerant Belfast always wanted. Oh fun.

          1. some old queen

            A handful of Lorries between NI and GB? Have you taken the Larne/Stranraer ferry? There is 1.5 mil people in the north alone ffs.

    None of these clowns do actual negotiation do they?
    Please tell me that’s not the case.

    Enda is ehh very popular.
    The face like arse of a donkey, is he a clown does the slap stick a treat the high breathing and gimp eyes, big red face like puffer fish.
    Or is he just stupid, like ordinary politican, cute and sly but still thick.
    Or lickspittal who docks the fore lock to Europe and states.
    Thing is the one who replaces him, will he or she be any different.

    “Foreign Leader”

    A come on
    That Irish Times is getting away with murder lately

    May is looking at I’m the way Merkel does – a stare of pity.
    All his talk and fussing about – it’s the EU rules that will apply. He cannot make any arrangements or agreements without Merkel and Hollande giving the OK. Much like the new rules about them having to approve any bills brought to government regarding financial matters.
