    Nolan also presents on BBC Radio 5 Live, which would have a far bigger reach than RTE

    He works his arse off doing multiple shows in Belfast and London, he deserves a lot more than Tubridy.

    Tubridy presents the biggest TV show on the whole island.

    He's bang on about the sea border. Cost increase for haulage will go through the roof, as well. It'd be a real winner for London but an awful result for the island as a whole.

    That a hard border down the Irish sea will have massive impact on farming here.

    Jim Bob is correct, the NI Border is a distraction.

    Most of our exports go to Britain (not NI),

    Any delays at customs and/or tariffs and our agri sector is royally screwed.

    When I hear English people talk about Brexit and Ireland I just don't get how unionists want to be associated with them as they clearly show that they have not got a clue about the border, Northern Ireland or Ireland.

    And Nolan earns a substantial part of his fees from the BBC national network.

    It is disingenuous to imply his fees are all earned from BBC NI, as you did.

    He can't explain how a hard border could be avoided whilst the two jurisdictions have separate regulatory and customs arrangements.

    He's a total spoofer.

    And perishable goods coming our way will get scarce too. I read that each day there's 290 trucks coming through Dover with citrus fruit alone...


    To illustrate the complexity, Paul Martin, UK head of retail at consultancy KPMG, says 290 trucks come through Dover each day just supplying citrus fruits. He says any level of disruption, such as trucks needing to pass extra inspections, is likely to have an impact.

    I’d say Sir Chope probably believes the British Empire is still a going concern.

    BBC is BBC.

    I was pointing out that he's paid more than Tubridy despite not being the No 1 broadcaster.

    It is the UK that have really screwed up here. I actually sympathize with Foster, she's right to stick her ground. Not that I feel comfortable agreeing with the DUP.

    The farmers up north will miss their EU subsidies badly.

    Apparently the Booze Cruises to Holyhead will be back if the UK leaves the Customs Union

    Which would be handy, seeing as the Minimum Alcolhol Pricing is coming in.

    If there's no border and free trade then someone up north can basically import a container of any high EU tariff goods and drive them down here and flog them for big profit.

    Theresa May is a remarkable woman. She is fighting hard to negotiate a deal that she doesn't believe in

    And I'm not convinced that a no-deal is not an inferior deal. It's a gamble but it's not a win for the EU. If that works out for the UK, it opens the door for other countries for definite. The EU wants to prevent that happening at all costs. That's part of why they are making this so hard.

    Clearly it has some voice when you see how steadfast the EU is being over the border issue.

    She advocated a leave vote in a ridiculous attempt to appear as the best Unionist in the class.
    She screwed up. She needs to reign her rhetoric back .The sooner she realises that London don't want her, and many of us down here in the south don't want her the better.
