Ireland not ready for Brexit ?
Perhaps if Leo hadn’t ordered an end to discussions between North and South civil servants over border trade shortly after the referendum result and had spent less time brown-nosing the EU Ireland might be better prepared.
Ireland will pay dearly for Leo’s love of grandstanding and monumental hubris.
Blighty sneezes and Ireland catches a cold,the flu,pneumonia and a rather painful introduction to reality.

It’s the customs side of things that may not be ready and that’s only an issue in a no deal Sasamach since the current deal has the entire UK in the customs union thanks to Ireland holding firm on the backstop.
It’s been a long time since you had even this flimsy an excuse to have a go at Ireland over Britain’s great mistake but you really should have waited for something meaningful.
SOQ
Talk about stating the bleeding obvious. Of course Ireland is not ready for Brexit but neither is Britain because nobody even knew what it was going to look like until two weeks ago. And even now we don’t know if that is going to be the final deal.
The blame lies firmly with this British government who triggered article 50 without agreement amount themselves let alone anyone else. As it stands, all indications are that it won’t get through the HP. Then what?
No amount of goading from stupid trolls will hide the fact that it is a complete mess from start to finish.
Ollie Cromwell
Nonsense.
The failure to prepare for changing international circumstances is entirely the responsibility of the Irish government.
Likewise the decision to obstruct and make life as difficult as possible for your biggest trading partner comes with consequences.
Ireland will lose a valuable ally inside the EU when Britain leaves and there will be little political or public support for helping this country when the EU comes after its tax policies.
Those are the downsides of Little Leo’s dalliance with the Fourth Reich.
ReproBertie
Fourth Reich? Are you david?
Ireland acted in Ireland’s interests. That those interests ran contra to those of the idiot Sasamachs and made facing reality difficult for them is just an added bonus.
Maybe if the Sasamachs hadn’t lied in the first place they wouldn’t be in this a situation.

utter gibberish
the irish government’s position is pure and simple realpolitik. that’s recognised and respected by all reasonable, level-headed and intelligent politicians (and people) in britain. there is no issue. you should invest your energy into figuring out why the likes of rees-mogg so badly wants a no-deal outcome – and precisely what is it about’s deal that upsets him so much (hint: it won’t enable him to benefit from tax evasion on his offshore interests)

Our so-called biggest ally, who effectively attacked our economy and our security through its policies and their incompetent implementation, not to mention refusing to accept respons8bility for it all

Backstop? Does not exist. The EU UK proposed agreement still has areas to be sorted out. You’ll find (eventually) that the backstop, in the format that Varadkar & Co. presented it, doesn’t exist.
ReproBertie
The backstop as agreed by the EU and the UK and there being a legally binding backstop in the event of a no deal Sasamach are two completely different things. One of those things most definitely exists.
Giggidygoo
Neither do.
ReproBertie
Maybe you should tell the UK negotiation team since they’ve spent almost a year trying, and failing, to get out of the backstop that you and you alone claim doesn’t exist.

Britain sneezes…?! Guffaw…
More like Britain has a wet fart in the playground and we have to deal with the stench. Hold our nose and point. Maybe get a little sick in our mouths. Unpleasant.
However, the reality is Britain is left poo filled underpants and nobody wants to play with the kid who has just kakked their kecks.

Typical Irish Daily Mail. Let’s hide the Brexit disaster with a story about Ballybrack FC.

In fairness, the Lazarus FC story is an extraordinary one. Chancers!

I don’t think they should be punished, it’s not like anyone died.
The front page of the daily star epitomizes what is wrong with the British and explains why they voted for Brexit.
Ollie Cromwell
Actually the front page explains everything that is right about the British – it’s called humour or gallows humour to be precise.
The front page of the Examiner should be worrying you a lot more than whether Sally is guilty or not.
Brother Barnabas
gallows humour in the face of impending disaster turned out well for britain in the past only because the Americans came to its rescue
that’s not going to happen this time
ReproBertie
Humpty Trumpty is trying to make this worse for the UK by inserting himself into the conversation to run down the only deal the British Taoiseach could get.
Remember when the Sasamachs said it would be the easiest negotiations in history?
Ollie Cromwell
How we chortled when the fighting Irish rolled over without dissent for Lisbon 2.
And its bezzies in the EU insisted every single Irish taxpayer will be responsible for bailing out the foreign bondholders for decades to come.
Ireland could have spent the last two years using its influence to benefit this country economically post-Brexit.
Instead watch Leo’s pals in Europe wash their hands when the ordure hits the fan.
How many times do you have to be duped before the message gets through ?

“Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska ‘enlisted armed men to storm rival’s factory’”
Great reporting from the Times (London). Funny that this case isn’t being reported in Ireland at all as Mr Deripaska is a significant employer (450 directly) with his aluminium refinery in Limerick. This is a huge court battle in London over a property development site in Moscow, so what relevance does it have here?
The revelations could sway US treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin who is set to make a final decision on sanctions against Mr Deripaska in the next fortnight. If sanctions are confirmed and if the sanctions extend to Deripaska’s company, Rusal, then the Aughinish refinery faces immediate closure because no-one can trade with it without Uncle Sam sanctioning them also.
The Times appears to be the only press covering this case. If you google it, you’ll find non-paywall re-reporting from the likes of the Daily Mail.

“Broadband plan unlikely to progress until answers found”
reports the Examiner today.
There will be a Dail debate about “Independent” auditor Peter Smyth’s report next Tuesday. With FF and SF both contesting the report (“whitewash” being used by some), it looks like Richard Bruton can hold his horses, and the Granahan McCourt investment fund and its contractors, including Siteserv will have to wait for some time longer before they can count their €3 billion.

What is it with the football fraternity “killing off” people to use as an excuse. “The team had a meal out last night and now have a dose of the poos” could be a plausible story without anyone “dying”. I remember at least two other incidents of “deaths” being reported and that’s not including Stephen Ireland who killed off more grannies than pneumonia.

I once told Chartbusters I was dead – I pretended to be a sister of my dead self, quite shaken and bereaved obviously. It was because of the fines accrued on my account.
Brother Barnabas
I took a job that after a few days I decided I didn’t want. i really liked the owner of the company, though, and didn’t want to let him down like that. so I told him I’d just found I’d contracted aids and needed some time to get my head together. the shame still burns when I think of it.
