Westminster voted for A hard tourism border on the island of Ireland tonight.

Ireland had zero say.

To be clear:

This means that a French or German person cannot take a trip to Belfast from Dublin for the w/e without UK border documentation.

Disaster for #NI.

#Brexit
Another own-goal for the UK Union.

This will go down like a bucket of cold sick amongst Irish born people in Northern Ireland.
Full story in the Irish Times

(In case UK media doesn’t consider it even newsworthy. Chances of that?)

#Brexit impact upon island of #Ireland.

**note it doesn't cost anything to register**
I spoke with someone from the council the other day and they asked me to stress the importance of families registering with the defective blocks scheme on the Dgl Co. Council website if you are a family affected by mica who own their
own home. They said currently the numbers are low (in the hundreds) and this is something they get asked and does not help their case when they meet with the Minister on the issue.
So, if you have not already done so and you plan to apply for the scheme sometime in the future

Dear People of Inishowen and beyond, please take time to read this and pass it on to everyone you know.

Anxiety and stress levels are very high among young and old. Everyone’s mental health and well-being are affected and this cannot go on. It is the main conversation among children in our primary schools. It is all that parents talk about at the school gates, at home and at work.
Children are asking their parents if their house is safe to live in. Our children should not have these worries. It is getting out of control and our government isn’t listening.

Cornelia Adair lost both her first husband and her father (General James Wadsworth) in the American Civil War. She later married Jack Adair, owner of the Glenveagh Estate in Co. Donegal, a location with which she became famously connected. #Donegal #ForgottenIrish ImageImage
