Similarly, the issue concerning amalgam should simply be decided within Northern Ireland. The issue may well be how exactly it is meant to be policed with people going across the border. I do not know whether we will see some form of customs posts on the Irish border, where people get their teeth examined on the way out to make sure they are not smuggling fillings into the Irish Republic. That is the kind of ridiculous situation that we have reached. Although a particular solution has been found to this problem, it highlights that there are fundamental flaws within the relationship itself, which shows that the Government have to go a lot further in any reset they have with the European Union. We need long-term solutions, not sticking plasters from issue to issue.
