Very strongly agree

Yes

The Irish Labour Party has consistently supported the idea of the U.K. and Northern Ireland remaining in the EU’s customs area after Brexit. They believe that this would help to maintain the Good Friday Agreement and prevent a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. For example, in 2018, the party's leader, Brendan Howlin, stated that the best way to protect the Good Friday Agreement was for the whole of the U.K. to remain in the customs union and single market.
