The first stage in the Down and Louth divorce is going ahead today.
And anti-Brexit activists will head to Stormont later to protest against the triggering of Article 50.
Border Communities Against Brexit want special status for Ireland.
Members of the group met MEPs in Brussels to gain support for it and a soft border.
They also want current travel and trade conditions to remain unchanged after Britain leaves the European Union.
Spokesperson Declan Fearon believes people living along the EU frontier will be hit hardest by Brexit, and he says the situation at Stormont has deepened the urgency to make their voices heard:
Man injured after house and three vehicles set alight in Co Antrim
IT system for Northern Ireland schools ‘largely restored’ following cyber attack
£100 home heating oil grant to be paid out by ‘summer at earliest’
Arrest made after hot water thrown over man at Co Tyrone court
Stormont urged to address ‘catastrophe’ in hospital emergency departments
