The Taoiseach has described the legislation on the Northern Ireland Protocol published by the British government yesterday, as"anti-business and anti-industry".
However, he warned that there was an issue around trust, with"a lot" of EU leaders now concerned that the UK government cannot be relied upon to uphold any future agreements. She said:"We haven't seen an Executive formed since February, we have seen east-west trade diminished, trade diverted to north-south. We've also seen the people of Northern Ireland not able to benefit from tax breaks.
The European Commission waited until the bill was laid before the House of Commons before responding.It is understood the European Commission could unfreeze legal action against the UK that was launched in March of last year, but then suspended in July to give time and space to negotiations on implementing the Protocol.
While the EU was anticipating a bill that would disapply parts of the protocol, one diplomat said member states were stunned by the scope of the legislation.
He'd know all about breach of trust 🤨
Trust!
Well if snyone can recognise a “fundamental breach of trust” it’d be fiannafailparty MichealMartinTD.
When are the people of Ireland going to give this Nutcase the boot.
this fellow talking about trust. He’s ruined this country. Driving it into the ground because he knows he and his party are out at the next General Election. Good riddance to a very poor performing party. Money grabbers at the peoples expense. Not good value and no accountability
Mehole hasn't got a clue.
