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"?
The Guardian article says no such thing. So much spin here I’m surprised you aren’t too dizzy to type.

I’m surprised tiny little old Ireland can trick such a hegemonic technocratic force as the EU to be fair.

Where does the EU deal with newly created borders in any manner other than a manned land border, with customs checks?
