Should Ireland connect Schengen?
The Schengen Treaty allows people to travel across the 25 associate countries without once need to show a passport or ask permission from the policy. It does away with border controls and get Big Brother out of our lives for good.
Why doesn't Ireland sign up?
Answers: no
Ireland is a island so there is no send for for it and people who travel here inevitability to use their passport to fly so it would not benefit any1 at all what so ever..u catch me That's not all that the Schengen Treaty would modify. At the moment we're being given categorically no information on it by our government - who are moderately untrustworthy and dodgy to say the least possible. The last time we'd to vote we be showered with information. Why would anyone vote for something minus knowing what it's about? I'll shift and look it up myself, but I seriously doubt many race will bother. Even one of the papers last week, any the Examiner or the Sunday Times had an article by a correspondent who tried to get info on it and said it be ridiculously hard.
Because unless the UK also join Schengen - and there's no sign that they will - then the border beside Northern Ireland would need to become a much more serious affair. At the moment in that are no border controls at all when you cross the border, but if it become one of the external borders of the Schengen Zone then it would have need of the full panoply of border fences, closed circuit TV, alarms, passports and ID cards, etc.
At the moment partly a million people who be born in the Republic live contained by the UK, equivalent to about an eighth of the entire Irish-born population, and it's much more convenient for them to enjoy a Common Travel Area with no passports between the UK and the Republic, than it would be to enjoy a borderless area beside the rest of the Schengen Zone.
