Warning that border checks could happen elsewhere

The Taoiseach has warned there is a “risk” border checks could be operated in France or the Netherlands instead of in Ireland if there’s a no deal Brexit.
In a private meeting with opposition parties last night, Leo Varadkar said the EU could move control of any border away from Ireland and onto the continent.
It would remove the need for a hard border with the North but mean Ireland is treated as one bloc along with the UK.
Sources at the meeting told the Irish Examiner that should be “avoided at all costs”.
Yesterday, an EU spokesperson said a hard Irish border would be needed in the event of a no-deal scenario.
