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"?

Ireland in a way have pushed the EU into a catch 22 situation. The other smaller states in the EU are watching to see if the EU sticks up for the "little guy", if it doesn't it risks the break up of the EU.
Roll on 31st Oct. We'll know then.
