And on notion of UK & Ireland bilateral treaty - I asked Varadkar at last months EU summit about precisely this point - response UK leaving EU, so therefore negotiation with EU alone. Basically “not this again”...not sure why Ireland would break with EU27
Bilateral treaty not in itself a bad idea - and Dublin’s backstop conundrum is No Deal over backstop precipitates immediately the problem it is trying to avoid in 3/4 years time.
It is just difficult to see why Dublin would give up leverage of EU27/Commission on any of this.

Sky Sources: “Not a hope” of a bilateral treaty.
Varadkar has written a piece in Sunday Independent:
- “Solutions specific for N Ireland are easier to negotiate and implement”
- “The ball is in the UK’s court”
- “If UK were to evolve its red lines on CU/SM rules and regulations, the EU could evolve too”
