Any border infrastructure on the island of Ireland would be a "clear and present danger" to the Northern Ireland peace process, it has been warned. Irish Senator Neal Richmond said repeated warnings against any type of border between Northern Ireland and the Republic were not "alarmism". The Fine Gael EU affairs spokesman warned: "Any border and customs infrastructure is a viable threat to the peace process which is only 20 years old on this island. This is a clear and present danger to our peace process which needs to be tackled." He made his comments after Downing Street said the UK would not be in a customs union after Brexit.
