Protests have been staged at border crossings along the Donegal-Derry border tonight (Weds) amid ongoing efforts to reach a Brexit deal.
The Border Communities Against Brexit (BCAB) Group held the silent action as hundreds of local people from both sides of the border came together along 38 of the 200 different border crossings.
Protesters held candles and posters to indicate their opposition to the uncertainty created by Brexit.

“Protesters carried signs with slogans such as “No Boris Border” and “No to Borders in Ireland”.
A spokesperson for BCAB said border communities would be the collateral damage if there is a no-deal Brexit.
“What is happening at Westminster today is giving us cause for concern and too much uncertainty around the border issue remains,” he said.
“Border communities are going to be the collateral damage if there is a no-deal Brexit so we want people living on the northern or southern side to come out and make a stand against any hard border returning.”
It is understood that members from the group are set to meet EU Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt in Brussels on Thursday to discuss the Brexit impasse and the impact it is having on people living in border communities.
