Ireland has recently unveiled its contingency plans for a unregulated Brexit. The government published, in Dublin, a design with 15 laws from nine ministries, which includes the areas of civil rights, taxes, Migration, education, health and transport.
Both the negotiators of the United Kingdom as well as the EU continue to be determined to an exit agreement. But it remains only a little more than a month, to the United Kingdom on the 29. March is officially withdrawal from the EU.
Ireland, during the entire Brexit negotiations, the focus, mainly because of the Status of Northern Ireland. The question of how we can avoid a “hard border” between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, is the last great stumbling block in the negotiations.
The United Kingdom insists on legally binding Amendments to the proposed “Backstop” in the draft of the withdrawal agreement, which provides, in its present Form, that Northern Ireland remains in the customs Union of the EU, provided that until December 2020, no new trade agreement is concluded.

for Free order
The Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney said the bill, for he had, according to his own statement, cross-party support, “was the result of an in-depth and thorough audit of our laws, in order to determine what Changes were needed if the United Kingdom will overnight to a third country”.
the law contains, for example, regulations such as the maintenance of the reimbursement of costs for Irish patients who undergo medical treatment in the United Kingdom, as well as the continuation of the pension payments to the UK based Irish pensioners.
Some mutual agreements are cancelled. Earlier this week, the Irish road safety authority said that the British driver’s license by persons living in Ireland, according to the 29. March is no longer recognised, if no exit agreement is decided.
Ireland is among the EU countries, most of the damage
Of all the EU suffer-27 countries will suffer Ireland by the withdrawal of Britain expected to be the largest economic damage, which is even more comprehensive, if there is no exit agreement.
“A No-Deal-Brexit would be a lose-lose-lose Situation for the UK, Ireland and the Rest of the EU,” said Coveney at a press conference in Dublin. He acknowledged that not all by a No-Deal scenario, the damages could be collected. “My only wish is that this law can dust on a shelf verse,” he added.
criticism of the Northern Irish party DUP
Sammy Wilson, however, the Brexit-the spokesman of the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, said the channel “Sky News” that the law would be proposals for the support of Irish enterprises and sectors such as the energy market is “completely contrary” to EU law on state aid, which governments can prevent that is to promote companies through subsidies and grants. “I think this shows that the EU negotiators have deceived the British negotiator,” he said.
Wilson complained, also, that the Irish draft bill contains no provisions about cross-border trade. “There is no single word there is want to deal with the cross-border trade. We have always said that there is no need for the infrastructure of a hard limit, and it seems that the Irish government itself provides in the face of a No-Deal-Brexits no laws for such a harsh border,“ said Wilson.
