The Irish Question

A Radio 4 "Today" Presenter in Dover said she was as close to our nearest EU neighbour as was possible.  France is 22 miles away. But if she went to Northern Ireland she could have one foot in the UK and the other in the Republic of Ireland. This is important when it comes to the contentious issue of controlling our borders. The Leave campaign's mantra is "get back control of our borders". It's very effective. It's what everyone wants. And it may well result in a victory for Leave in next week's Referendum. But very little has been said on how controlling our borders will be achieved.
