Delia Breen, who works in a money exchange office at the border between Newry in Northern ireland and Dundalk in The Republic of Ireland poses with handfuls of Sterling notes and Euro notes, on June 7, 2016.

All of this could be about to change. In the event of a Brexit on June 23, these 500 kilometres (311 miles) would become the sole land border between the United Kingdom and the European Union and there are genuine concerns that this will mean the reintroduction of customs barriers that were abolished on January 1, 1993 - and even immigration controls for the first time. / AFP PHOTO / PAUL FAITH
