Ireland is the only EU country that share a physical border with the United Kingdom. Many observers are now looking at how Ireland will position itself in a post-Brexit EU. Charles Flanagan, the Irish foreign minister, tells FRANCE 24 that his country remains "firmly committed" to the European project. Regarding the invisible frontier between Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, he says "it is absolutely essential that the invisible nature of that border is fully respected and fully maintained".
