Meanwhile in Ireland

“There has been a removal of the border in people’s minds as well. People don’t think of that border any more…” said Bernard Boyle, a member of Border Communities Against Brexit, “…The local people will not accept a border infrastructure.”

Nearby at Ulster University’s Magee campus, Hollai Nic Conaill Oig wishes she could have had a say in the referendum, but was younger than 18 when it took place.
“There’s no place for a hard border, there’s no place for a border at all really,” said the Irish language student. “…To even think about getting your passport out to go shopping or to see your grandparents is ridiculous.”

Not sure of domestic coverage in the UK since I have seen little reporting but does it take a foreign TV channel to report what the folk on the border think.
