“I hope the uncertainty created by these political failures are not seen as an opportunity by that tiny minority who want to drag us backwards.'
The implications of Brexit on the land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic have the potential to destabilise communities and increase pressure on police, a former PSNI chief constable has said.
He said: “The border between the north and south, that enjoyed a degree of constructive ambiguity facilitated by shared membership of the EU is a cause for deep concern. “The lack of local governance clearly doesn’t help. Trying to fix a problem that was so blindingly obvious to anyone that had the most basic understanding of what leaving the EU would mean post-event will be difficult, bordering on impossible in my judgment.”
“What I do know is that the men and women of the new, well relatively new, PSNI will be there to protect all the citizens of this wonderful place to the very best of their ability, and continue to play their part in what is still, in my judgment, a fragile peace.”
