Frank Parsons has obviously never driven into Switzerland from Italy and queued for up to three hours to go through passport control.
Having lived in Switzerland for twelve years I can assure him that Swiss customs officers are very vigilant in checking who is entering their country.
With no hard border in Ireland anyone from the EU will be able to travel to Dublin jump on a train to Belfast then take a ferry to Scotland or England without having to produce any documents.
Why on earth this issue was never resolved at the outset and still remains a backstop is farcical.
