This IEUK boundary ranks right up there with ITVA for being stealth! I think both countries are striving for political correctness to the point of irresponsible dereliction. A stranger could easily not know what country he's in, and that's asking for problems. A boundary can be free and open but still be plainly marked for everyone to see and know. Look at all those white lines on the streets of Baarle!

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] More Ireland pics

1)       Picture 007 is looking from the North into the Republic over a small bridge. See the small county welcome sign on the left side of the road.

2)       Picture 008 is looking off the bridge into the small stream that flows under it, the middle of which is the boundary.

3)       Picture 003 is the only sign of Ireland-Northern Ireland I found, but notice how Northern has been painted over by someone.

More later.
