The government has published its Brexit proposals to the EU, including plans to replace the Irish backstop.
The plan would see Northern Ireland essentially stay in the European single market for goods through the creation of an "all-island regulatory zone".
The Northern Ireland Assembly would have to approve the arrangements first and be able to vote every four years on whether to keep them.
The European Commission says it will "examine [the proposals] objectively".

I'm surprised if the DUP will agree to this as is currently being suggested and totally astonished if the EU agree.
