However, the insistence of a Stormont Input every 4 years may have put paid to that.

The point is that there has never ever been anything else that would satisfy Ireland. Impossible to find something that UK Parliament hasn't turned down already, that the EU would agree to. So all this guff about the EU wanting an agreement and Boris blocking it, along with "it's up to the UK to come up with a solution" is total nonsense, as usual. The EU has not been negotiating in "good faith".

The "extension" in the bill only goes up to 31st Jan 2020. so how else does 7th Feb 2020 and beyond come into it?
Impossible unless it means indefinite extensions.
