If Ireland joined Shengen, then they would be responsible for the hard border, not the UK.

Let's see what we can make of it, though.
You are right, the UK does not need to be in a custom's union...nobody is disputing that.
You just can't have friction-less trade with the EU then.
Your call to make.
How can you be so sure that you will get such a deal...how do you know that other nations don't just say "thanks, but no - we don't want a FTA with the UK either...we'll just go to WTO rules as well". Well?
Half of the country was avidly opposed to taking the challenge in the first place....

To be precise, it's the Government's call. It doesn't matter what I say, I don't have the power to make it happen.
You are continuing to ignore the simple fact that the EU exports more to us than we do to them. These other EU countries have already started to express disquiet with Barnier's hard line approach. Watch this space.
By the way, it was less than half the electorate that voted to remain, not half. And those that didn't vote don't care or haven't a clue.
