Ireland's prime minister on Tuesday welcomed Prime Minister Boris Johnson's denial that Britain intends to propose putting customs posts on the Irish border as part of a plan to replace the contentious "backstop" insurance policy. "I very much welcome Prime Minister Johnson's words today when he disowned and distanced himself from those non-papers," said Leo Varadkar.
"Had he not, in my view, it would have been hard evidence of bad-faith on behalf of the British government." Irish national broadcaster RTE reported on Monday that Britain proposed in a technical, or so-called "non-paper", to set up "customs clearance centers" on both sides of the Irish border after Brexit in order to avoid the need for checks on the border itself.
