British government has said that it does not want any border posts between Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland after Brexit. In a position paper on Brexit, part of its negotiations with the European Union, UK Government said that the government wanted a seamless and frictionless frontier without physical border infrastructure and border posts. <br/><br/>Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK which will share a land border with an European Union, EU, member state when Britain leaves the EU in March 2019. The future management of that border is a highly sensitive issue and is one of three main priorities in UK-EU Brexit negotiations. <br/><br/>The issue of how the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland will fare is particularly sensitive given the decades of violence over whether it should be part of Britain or Ireland. About 30,000 people cross the 500 kilometre border every day without customs or immigration checks.
