      They did think about it. They were even offered help to invade Ireland by a minor Irish King.

        I think we've had this discussion. The point being that not even the Romans could be bothered with a piss-ant little country that didn't even have Moles - or snakes!

          What have the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans and the Welsh got to do with the Irish Border Problem?

            Romans weren't Italians, they were ROMANS!

            Not to be confused with SPARTANS!

              Which was a direct response to OPM's claims about Germany (i.e. OPM didn't have a straight answer to a question about Ireland, so he changed the topic to Germany, in the same way that you don't like answering difficult questions so you like to change the topic by giving partial quotes out of context, etc.)

              OPM brought up Germany. Eirikur pointed out his error.

              So, please answer my question: What have the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans and the Welsh got to do with the Irish Border Problem?
              Since you decided to bring other nations into it.

                Ok, in answer to your question.

                In 2 parts if I may.

                1) The Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans are all members of the oppressive EU that have rejected all proposals made to resolve the Irish border problems.
                2) The Welsh are likely to be the ones who will suffer the most due to two of the major gateways to Ireland being situated in Wales.

                      Which proposals were these?

                      There's been a proposal for a technical solution that doesn't exist, isn't in development, hasn't even had a spec written for it.

                      What are all the others?
