Ireland’s deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar has said the British government’s intention to publish legislation that would disapply parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol is “not very respectful” to the British people.
Speaking on RTE Radio, minister for enterprise Mr Varadkar said that 59 of the Stormont Assembly’s 90 MLAs do not want to disapply the protocol, and the British public voted for the Brexit deal that is currently in operation, which includes the protocol.
