This shouldn’t pose passport problems, because the U.K. and Ireland have a longstanding passport-free Common Travel Area agreement. But because Britain is on course to leave the E.U.’s tariff-free single market, imports and exports must somehow be monitored across this 310-mile-long barrier. Controlling this flow by a so-called “hard” border—that is, one with checkpoints and customs controls—would be quite the job. Looking in one direction alone, Northern Irish exports to the Republic are worth £3.6 billion ($4.8 billion) a year, while there are a total of 275 land crossings between the two parts of the island, more than twice the number there are along the E.U.’s entire eastern frontier. A hard border here could thus be a nightmare for both countries.(citylab.com]]> 2018-02-22 16:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/xcampos_23/iw3d84t7a1ge/wish/234318213 xcampos_23 https://padlet.com/xcampos_23/iw3d84t7a1ge/wish/234320208 Northern Ireland is 5,456 mi² and is about the size of Tennessee but in square miles it can compare to Connecticut.
