The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has managed to put his foot in it.
Speaking in Davos today, he made an absolutely ludicrous statement about what will happen if there’s a hard border imposed on this country once again.
A visibly aggressive Varadkar was almost foaming at the mouth spitting his words back at the interviewers of international finance and business station, Bloomberg TV.
Asked what would happen if there’s a hard border imposed by the EU, Varadkar said that police (gardai) and the army will be on it, with cameras and physical checks.
His exact words to Bloomberg were:
It will: “involve people in uniform and it may involve the need, for example, for cameras, physical infrastructure, possibly a police presence, or an army presence to back it up,” Varadkar said in a Bloomberg Television interview at the World Economic Forum on Friday.
“The problem with that in the context of Irish politics and history is those things become targets.”
His comments have been widely condemned from everyone on all sides of the political divide on both sides of the border.
