I have often wondered why don’t the British and Irish just leave their border as it is? What could or would Brussels do?

The problem would be Britain's, not Brussels'. The Republic would remain part of the EU and as such anyone from continental Europe could fly there without visa or passport checks. Then just drive over the border and illegally enter the UK. It would become like our border with Mexico, a magnet for illegals and illegal activities.

Eventually they will either have to build a wall or turn them back over to Ireland and reunite the island.

It’s really the Irish Republic that is claiming it has concerns, over a small amount of possible tariff revenue loss and its ability to sell its agricultural products to the EU.

Ireland can not as it is an EU member. Additionally, the border issue, whilst tamed by the Good Friday Agreement and EU membership of Britain is still contentious. Why not just finally reunite Ireland and make it a nation once again. The Partition in 1922 was horrible.

Ireland is Brussel’s bitch, so they’d have to do whatever Brussles told them to.
