#Brexit

Ahead of today’s (25 February) meeting of the EU’s General Affairs Council, Simon Coveney, Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland was asked about newspaper reports that the UK didn't intend to implement its commitments under the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol. He said that without good faith and trust, building a future relationship with the EU would not be easy. He added that it was important to put markers down, specifically he said that he hadn’t seen progress on the necessary infrastructure needed to implement the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol and progress needed to be seen in the next few months. Coveney said that Michel Barnier and the Irish government were at one on the Withdrawal Agreement which he said involves significant commitments in the context of the Irish border from both the EU and the UK. He said that if this does not happen it will damage significantly the prospects of achieving even a bare bones trade agreement, along with a number of other measures that need to be put in place by the end of the year. He said that what has already been agreed needs to be implemented in full and that the committee's that are going to be set up in the context of the Irish protocol are committees that have been set up to implement what has already been agreed, they are not for further negotiation on what has already been agreed.
