Speaking ahead of today’s meeting with European Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič and British Minister Michael Gove MP, Michelle O’Neill says that the Irish Protocol must work and that solutions must be found to support business and other sectors of our economy.
While the Protocol is imperfect, it crucially protects the Good Friday Agreement; All-island economy; and avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.
She is calling at today’s meeting for the mechanisms established in the Agreements which relate to the island of Ireland to be convened urgently; including the Specialised Committee, Joint Committee and Joint Consultative Working Group.
