As far as I can tell Irish interests and EU interests are aligned, the integrity of the Single Market.
The EU currently deals with newly created EU borders, so why couldn't it now? Surely the Withdrawal Agreement must be better for the other 26, than hard Brexit.

As the Guardian article states, the Irish got the others to agree under FALSE pretences. If it was about the single market, then the EU would have initiated it and NOT the Irish. How on earth is it right that the EU can IMPOSE a customs union for ETERNITY without explicitly stating that? Where has Parliament voted for that? Where is the agreement to that sets that out, other than the 3 little words of "unless and until"?
