This puts Ireland and the EU in a strange position. The UK Government has said it will not install a hard border.

So if there is no agreement and we don't install this hard border, will Ireland, or will the EU make a decision to install it?

I think they are backing themselves into a corner! There will not be a hard border between NI and Ireland. The EU wants to re-think this intransigent approach to the negotiations.

We just need to sit tight and see what happens next.
