BELFAST - Northern Ireland’s new police chief warned on Saturday that a hard Brexit could have a “detrimental” impact on two decades of peace in the British-run province and risk his officers becoming targets for militants.
Britain, Ireland and the EU want to avoid a return of physical checks on the border, which was marked by military checkpoints before a 1998 peace deal between Catholic nationalists seeking a united Ireland and Protestant unionists who wanted to keep Northern Ireland British. The concerns follow similar warnings by the Irish government this week that a no-deal Brexit could fuel recruitment among the small remaining militant groups in both nationalist and unionist communities, requiring the immediate deployment of Irish police to the border if Britain crashes out.
