A protest will be held later today over the potential for a hard border in the event of a no deal Brexit.

The demonstration by Border Communities Against Brexit will take place at Old Dublin Road, Carrickcarnon between Dundalk and Newry.

Organisers say they want to send a loud unequivocal signal that those living along the border do not want checkpoints and customs posts.

The group says physical infrastructure through communities and their lives will not work and won't be tolerated.

A temporary wall will be built today on the northern side of the border as part of today's demonstration.

Spokesperson Damian Mc Ginty  says there is a lot of international interest in the protest.
