No-deal Brexit could spark Northern Ireland violence

LONDON, 06 Oct. - (ANA)  - A no-deal Brexit risks the return of violence in Northern Ireland, MPs have warned MI5 (the Britsih Secret service).

The Commons Security Committee said republicanism remained resilient, was recruiting young members and could be inflamed if “border infrastructure” were to reappear along the frontier with the Republic of Ireland.

MI5 devoted 20% of its resources to countering terrorism in Northern Ireland in the year to March 2018.  - (ANA) -
