- Join me for a walk back and forth across the Lifford Bridge, which crosses the border between the town of Strabane in the United Kingdom and Lifford in the Republic of Ireland.
On our walk, we'll explore the history and future of this much-discussed international boundary, all the while taking in the views over the River Foyle, and the countryside of Northern Ireland's County Tyrone, and the Republic of Ireland's County Donegal.

Thank you for this of course and well done too. Most interesting as well!
Visited Ireland in 1989 and crossed the border twice and no active border check. We did run into army patrol’s both heading into Donegal and on entering back into the north.
The Republic of Ireland and UK should be building of longest irrigation for water supply of Irish border if the all borders doesn't have of water supply by rivers in Ireland borders community. The irrigation was supplied of water for farmers, fishers, drinking water, and hydropower plants in the border it.
Excellent summary, but there were _always_ checkpoints at the border prior to the Good Friday Agreement (1998). You had to drive through two sets of immigration/customs controls, with the occasional stop-and-search, and a narrow strip of No-Man's-Land between; it could be quite intimidating.
😊
Note the change in the road surfacing and signage at 9:08.....that's the border.
Make sure not even a jaguar passes Ireland border 🔥
What are the rules on walking a dog along this bridge ie a dog from the Uk into Ireland????
Both sides of the “border” are Ireland.
People do!

Is there a contradiction at 2:56, where it's said that Éire/Ireland was dominated by the English but then goes on to say at 3:07 that England had recently been invaded, occuppied and conquered by those lanky Norman Norse/French Nobs/Templar, .. Knights? So would it not be more correct to say that Éire/Ireland was invaded and occupied by the Norse Normans and not those hobbity like English, as the English had also already been invaded and conquered by the Norse Normans? Perhaps it's a silly and irrelevant point to bring up?

A border in what is really the same country of course
Weird really but it is ireland though too
as a person in britain, ireland will always be ireland so will northern ireland lol i would count is as like county belfast or sm
I do not see it as a Border ... I see it as a Partition.
How does Dolours Price see it?
@@arktos298 Repuplican's or Nationalists would see it the same way as me
@@merseydave1 Then let us remove British involvement totally!
@@arktos298 You just said "Let Us" that is for the people of Ireland to do and ... its getting there!.
@@merseydave1 How about for the love of god? or for all of humity? or what's taking so long? Britain is one of the first world powers that has yet to officially define their borders... SMH. One of my favorites is: How do you make god laugh?
there should be no border,Ireland should never been Partioned
Should not be the UK it should A UNITED IRELAND
No 👎 👎
If the people of Northern Ireland want it, Yes! If the people of Northern Ireland don’t then, No! Or even if they want to be their own country. Both people from mainstream Britain and the ROI need to stop thinking that the land belongs to them.
That’s a British border, nothing Irish about partition
Nah looks Irish to me
@@michaelmoorehouse4495 Tá tú mícheart, the Brits installed it in 1920
Its not called the Republic of Ireland. Its simply called Ireland. Wow brits are something else 😂😂
I live in Ireland now, in The Republic of Ireland. I do business with people in England as well as businesses in Northern Ireland and it’s very different. Goods from Northern Ireland do not have duty applied, goods from England do. Many English suppliers don’t want the hassle of customs declarations and EORI numbers for VAT exemption so they simply refuse to do business with us in The Republic. Technically what I call the Republic of Ireland is just Ireland and the UK bit is Northern Ireland . But the most northerly part of Ireland is not in Northern Ireland, so it can get confusing. I tend to say Republic of Ireland in order to prevent confusion, never never wishing to insult or offend anyone.
As I’m originally from Great Britain I avoid any discussion on Irish politics, simply because I don’t feel I have enough knowledge of the real issues.
The important thing to know is the people in Ireland and Northern Ireland are fabulously friendly and kind, and extremely welcoming to visitors. Northern Ireland may be in the UK, but many things are very different.
