Pffft, good luck getting any Irish people giving a single fuck about what the Brits decide should happen in Ireland. We should all put on foreign accent when crossing imaginary border, refuse to comply and just wave away Brit enforcer with ‘I’m Irish’.
How does one type out that snort of inhaled laughter at stupidity? Cause that’s the sound I made reading that. Who the fuck is there to enforce that like?
British state out of Ireland. Its unacceptable they can try to push legislation through like this. The sooner the six counties are returned the better.
Include some of the story in future OP. I had to open a whole new tab.
>The UK government has approved a rule that will require non-Irish EU residents to apply for authorisation before travelling between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
>The requirement, voted through on Tuesday night by a majority of 298 MPs, is part of the Nationality and Borders Bill and has been called “unworkable” by the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ).
>Under the new measure, non-Irish EU citizens will have to apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before entering the UK from the EU, including when crossing the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. …
There does not seem to be anything in the proposed legislation that requires border checks, and there’s no need for border checks in order for it to be useful for its stated purpose of immigration control. For compliant travellers, it will serve roughly the same effective functional purpose as for those who arrive at a controlled UK border. For non-compliant travellers, including illegal immigrants, it will simplify the legal and administrative basis for dealing with them if they happen to come to the attention of police, immigration or other branches of government.
I’d suggest that one of the main adverse impacts might be on NI tourism. Creating extra paperwork for international tourists who want to see a bit of NI after arriving in the Republic seems like a bad idea, when tourism is one of a short list of internationally-traded economic activities that NI currently seems to be getting right.
They think there is going to be border checks at the approx 300 roads that cross the border at various points! Good luck with that one.
Who gives a shit
Just when you thought the Brits couldn’t get any stupider…
Great for tourism for Northern Ireland. Brexiters couldn’t give a fuck about Northern Ireland or the Northern Irish.
So uhm…my Irish license is a valid document. Only states that I’m born in Germany, not my nationality. So for the “border control” would I be Irish because I show that? Or would they be like “born in Germany? Do you have your German or Irish passport with you to prove that you (don’t) need some weird thingy?”
lol who is gonna check the authorisation, there is million of ways on the border across the border, my mate actually lives on the border.
Jfc
Just like there are no border checks on the island of Ireland, CTA flights to the UK are treated like internal flights and you do not go through any passport control/customs, so there is no difference crossing the border in Ireland or flying from the Republic to GB in terms of any checks anyway
There’s literally no way to police this. That lot are living in cloud cuckoo land.
The only place this could possibly cause a problem is Connolly Station, if they bring in checks there.
I’ve got to say though, all these Brexiteer politicians are really great at coming up with flashy legislation that does absolutely nothing. It makes their voters think they’re doing great things, but requires absolutely no work at all.
As i personally dont recognize the british claim over the northern counties i give meself the authorization to go there as i fkn dear please.
