The UK already has made that move by altering the original arrangement.
We've talked about this at length before. Look at the Intra-Irish border on a map. There are 208 road crossings along its approximately 500km length. And as many again tracks suitable for SUVs and tractors. There are farms with fields on both sides of the border, streets where houses on one side of it are in NI and those on the other side in Ireland. Even commercial premises and houses where one door or gateway is in the North and the other in Ireland.
Its absolute madness trying to enforce a EU/UK border there.
It's not my idea! It's what she's trying to do!
You can't re-write an International treaty especially when it's in the Irish constitution and it's Irish law.
We know it's not your idea Matt. The pressure is being piled on the Republic though..
