HELSINKI - Ireland accused Britain of being “totally unreasonable” over Brexit on Friday, saying London had not made credible proposals to replace the Irish border backstop. But the British government insisted it had offered ways of solving the key sticking point.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s team had not offered any concrete alternatives to the existing planned ‘backstop’, which the EU wants to ensure an open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. “If there are alternatives to the backstop that do the same job, well then let’s hear them. And if we can work out a deal on that basis, so be it. But it’s got to be credible,” Coveney said.
Britain has said technological alternatives to border checks should be possible by the time the backstop might be needed, but has given no details, prompting scepticism from the EU. “I am worried because for me it is a catastrophe for each and for everyone and it is a shame for the thousands and thousands of workers and create a lot of misery inevitably,” said Luxembourg’s Jean Asselborn.
