Andrews hopeful Brexit “diplomatic vandalism” resolvable

Fianna Fáil MEP, Barry Andrews, says he is upbeat about the prospects of resolving problems with the Northern Ireland protocol. The EU put forward a new set of ideas last week and technical talks between the UK and EU have started. Under the EU’s plan, many of the checks on goods between Britain and Northern Ireland would be abolished. Barry Andrews says the reaction from businesses in the North has been largely favourable, and he believes it is now time for the UK and EU to develop a partnership rather than a rivalry.
