We have a swinging backdoor open between the two countries, which means we can't manage migration.
The reason why we have an extension, and it's only an extension for a month, is because the Government is fearful that during the summer they will see a similar people power exercise.
The key issue remains. Ireland is an excessively expensive country for energy. It is bad for families, it is bad for business, and it is bad for farmers.
