The Centenary of 1st Brexit and hard border

April 1st which falls on the Saturday of this week is the 100th birthday of the hard border between North and South. It was sprung on a disbelieving population, Nationalist and Unionist alike, many of whom believed it was an April Fool's joke. And it was imposed by the government of the Free State. This development forms a little of the background in the early chapters of Damian's next book. Damian joined Pat on the show this morning.
