Their resourcefulness goes back to the days when there were thorough border checks. For instance it was back then that a guy from the republic walked up to the border patrol pushing a wheelbarrow full of straw. The border guard rummaged through the straw and found nothing untoward hidden within it, so let the guy through. The next day the same guy appeared at the border, again with his wheelbarrow full of straw. Again a thorough search revealed nothing and he was let through. After a couple of weeks of this he was taken to one side and the straw removed for X-rays and chemical analysis. It was just straw, nothing else. The guards pulled his wheelbarrow apart and still found nothing. They never did realise that he was smuggling wheelbarrows into NI!Not just that. I envisage that the people who cross the border now on a regular basis would find a way to continually do so. Very resourceful people the Irish
