On the cusp of Brexit, Fermanagh native Adrian Dunbar aired his views on the Border issue during a recent event hosted by the Embassy of Ireland in London, of which he was a guest.

When asked how optimistic he is about the resolve of the Border issue, Mr. Dunbar said: “No idea. Nobody knows what’s happening. Nobody knows what’s going on.”

The Embassy of Ireland in London’s early St. Patrick’s Day dinner was attended by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

During his speech, Prince Charles vowed to visit all 32 counties on the island of Ireland.

“If I may say so ladies and gentlemen, this is precisely why it has been of such importance to both my wife and myself that we too should visit Ireland so often over these past few years – to experience and celebrate as best we can the unparalleled bonds between our two countries and to highlight just what a fundamental difference they make to us all.”

“And I must say I’m slightly amazed to find that we’ve managed to visit 15 counties already. I am quite determined before I drop dead and finally lose my marbles that I should get around to the remaining 17,” Prince Charles added. This would include nearby Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. He concluded his speech by wishing everyone a happy St. Patrick’s Day in Irish: “La Fheile Padraig sona daoibh.” The prince’s words at the event, which was a celebration of UK and Irish relations, could be interpreted as partly referring to the challenges presented by Brexit and the importance of the relationship between the two countries amid these challenges.
