Ireland dismisses reported UK Brexit border proposal

Britain is proposing to set up "customs clearance centres" on both sides of the Irish border after Brexit, Irish national broadcaster RTE reported on Monday, an idea Ireland's foreign minister quickly dismissed as a "non-starter".The British proposal would place clearance centres, effectively customs posts, between 5-10 miles (8-16 km) 'back' from and on each side of the border, RTE Europe Editor Tony Connelly said on Twitter.
