All through the Brexit negotiations, we were told that it would be impossible to have any sort of settlement that that resulted in border posts. That has now been shown to be complete hyprocrisy.
Along comes a virus and suddenly the Irish Police are setting up fixed and mobile checkpoints on the border to ensure that northern folk do not get to their holiday homes for the Easter holidays!
Utter hyprocrisy!
Coronavirus: Irish police get powers to enforce Covid-19 rules

What an absolute miserable and peevish post. Absolute dregs of the imagination.
Keep safe and don’t be gallivanting about the place, like those irresponsible people heading to their holiday homes in Donegal. I saw a PSNI and Garda Officer shoulder to shoulder on the RTE news a few nights ago, both say they would police the border area , to restrict these irresponsibles for the common good, both sides of the border.
On another positive note, Mrs. Ashtree and I had booked a trip to Belfast, Titanic Centre etc, this coming weekend. The very nice lady who owns guesthouse we booked, called to say we could reschedule any time, with an extra 5% discount as an incentive.
