(Picture: PA)Stormont agriculture minister Edwin Poots has issued an order to halt Brexit checks on food and farming products at Northern Ireland’s ports from midnight.
The agri-food checks, which are required under the terms set out in the Northern Ireland Protocol, were stopped after Mr Poots said he had received legal advice which stated that he could do so.
