Yes, he is RTE's Europe correspondent with excellent contacts at the heart of the EU, so if anything happens he gets to know about it before anyone else does.Excellent report below from Tony Connelly (an Irish journalist who's covered every aspect of the Brexit negotiations) on how we got to the Thornton House meeting between Johnson and Varadkar and what's happened since. The nuts and bolts of the possible new customs arrangement are explained for idiots like me. It's basically back to the future for Johnson, who's having to pick up the ideas of the May Deal on aligning two trading blocs, but applying it solely to NI rather than the whole of the UK.
Brexit: Injury time winner or fatal gambit?
The Thornton Manor encounter between Boris Johnson and Leo Varadkar may go down as the meeting that decisively altered the course of Brexit history, or it could be consigned to the annals as a worthy but doomed gambit.www.rte.ie
How can you possibly just dismiss Irish concerns about our future as just being an EU ploy?
You didn’t read that article did you Joseph lolBrexit: What can UK learn from other external EU borders?

It correctly concludes that none of the borders mentioned are suitable for Ireland.
Thats why its going down the Northern irish sea.......
Reading what you Google is next week's class.
*Irish Sea
Well having read many of your posts (particularly to Joey66) I thought I would get my retaliation in first. lolIt was rather odd to launch into the post when all I did was provide him with information he's been asking for all morning. A simple thank you should've been in order. Instead a hurtful and unnecessary slur against me. I'm big enough to take it, but it's the effect on my anorak I'm most concerned about.
Trying to stop Brexit the backstop May signed it idiotically.....
You have to be on a wind up ???? Nobody could be this dense accidentally
Oh I just thought you'd been made to look foolish so lashed out
Joe....Will that "North Irish Sea" border be to the east or the west of the Isle of Man?
Of happen right down t' middle....
Makes no difference as the Isle of Man is not in the EU
But "the Island has a special and limited relationship with the EU, under an agreement (‘Protocol 3’) negotiated when the UK joined Europe in 1973, allowing free trade in agricultural and manufactured products between the Isle of Man and EU members. Apart from matters relating to this agreement, including Customs, the Island is not bound by EU laws and it pays nothing to, and receives nothing from, EU funds." https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/cabinet-office/external-relations/constitution/Makes no difference as the Isle of Man is not in the EU
