The new Irexit Freedom Party says if Ireland leaves the EU, it will mean the country will avoid a hard border. Speakers at its unveiling in Dublin's Bonnington Hotel today will include former Irish ambassador Ray Bassett and UCD professor Ray Kinsella. The conference will hear that leaving the EU is essential to take back Ireland's military neutrality, which it says is compromised by membership of EU battle groups and PESCO (Permanent Structured Cooperation - an EU body that aims to boost military cooperation). @IrexitFreedom "They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half... but the fools, the fools, the fools!"
