Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s raising the prospect of a return of soldiers to the Irish Border in a worst-case Brexit scenario has prompted criticism from the Opposition.
Speaking from the Swiss resort of Davos where he is attending the World Economic Forum, Mr Varadkar said in a no-deal scenario, a hard border “would involve customs posts, it would involve people in uniform and it may involve the need, for example, for cameras, physical infrastructure, possibly a police presence or army presence to back it up”.
