A hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland could raise security concerns. The return of the physical border, involving lengthy customs checks and controls, could restore to life tensions between pro-Irish Catholic and pro-UK Protestant communities in Northern Ireland as they have not yet to bury their differences.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney suggested a deal would not be done at the upcoming summit. Coveney said he was "frustrated and disappointed" that it was going to take "more time than people had hoped."
"This is obviously a difficult period," British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Monday in Luxembourg ahead of talks with his EU counterparts. "There are one or two difficult outstanding issues but I think we can get there."
