In the overall scheme of things Brexit, my Green Card notice may not be a big deal
Quite a few Irish motorists, I suspect not all, received a text or some form of communication like the one I got the other day when I was in Spain informing me of new regulations for driving in Northern Ireland.
I am less than five kilometres from the border – or about three miles in the parlance of those on the other side of it – so it seems not every driver in the Republic got the message; only those most likely to regularly make cross-border journeys. It contains a list of instructions that went to motorists in five counties on the Republic side of the border, Louth, Monaghan, Cavan, Donegal and Sligo. The list runs for more than 70 paragraphs.Why Leitrim, which also adjoins the border, isn’t on the list escapes me, but that’s an issue for another time.
Let’s face it, whether there’s an agreement between Britain and the EU, or no-deal between them, or whether Brexit is executed by the set date of March 29, or whether it is delayed, Irish people will be forced to accept a long list of changes,What’s really infuriating about it all is the likes of High Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg, so out-of-date with modern thinking he’s sometimes dubbed “The Honourable Member for the 18thy Century”, is among those making decisions for me.
