How will Ireland cope with Brexit?

Ireland is the only EU country which shares a land border with the UK. Since the Good Friday Peace agreement in 1998 brought the so-called Troubles in northern Ireland to an end, it's a border which today anyone travelling between the north and the south would hardly notice. But after Britain's decision to leave the EU, there are fears that tariffs, customs checks and immigration controls could return. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Laurence Knight has been speaking to businesses on both sides of the border about their concerns. He started by speaking to a man whose job it is to manage and encourage cross border trade on the island of Ireland.
