The proposed directive could fall foul of the Republic of Ireland's government, however, as it would open up the potential for the Republic to run on a different time to Northern Ireland for seven months of the year. Another potential outcome would be that mainland Britain and Northern Ireland would operate in different time zones after Brexit.

Won't worry the DUP whose clocks would need to be brought forward 300 years to get to what I would consider to be Irish time.
