I’m not countenancing such a plan by the way, far from it, I think it’s a disgrace that option so easily exists just now. Im merely pointing out the idiocy of the expensive, unworkable rules that we’ve all been told are in place to keep us “safe” when it’s clearly a nonsense that is simply worked around should you chose to do / risk it.

I should point out both Govts ( the British and Irish) would say something like they have robust measures in place at the airports / borders to question any such new arrivals - my only comment Re that - my ARSE they do as we’re seeing this very thing it happen here regularity now. In fact it’s believed the first case of Covid in N.Ireland arrived here from exactly that journey via the Dublin airport to Belfast bus :-(
