Why has it taken so long to do this?

[Tawi2]

This routes been open and known about for years,I remember once being asked by a pinay would it be easier to fly into Dublin to get into the UK,close it and lock it down tight,though to be honest the horse bolted a long time ago :NoNo:

[Dedworth]

I heard it on the Radio news and as Lastlid & Tawi say its closing the gate after the horse has bolted. I recall ages ago downloading a podcast of a Radio 4 documentary where they were exposing this loophole. It defies belief but the UKBA knew about it but didn't have any staff at the Stranraer but relied on the occasional presence of Special Branch officers there who were on the lookout for terrorists.

As farcical as the Eurostar Lille Loophole that came to light a couple of weeks back

You couldn't make it up :cwm23:
