N.I. on impossible: How do we fix the Northern Ireland protocol?
Season 1

Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
Is a deal over the Northern Ireland protocol really imminent? Due to Northern Ireland’s land border with the Republic, there were always going to need to be unique arrangements post-Brexit. A resolution of some kind is being touted, but what might this look like? Amanda Ferguson, a Belfast-based freelance journalist and commentator, joins Ros Taylor to discuss.
- “I think Boris Johnson knew exactly what he was doing, he just wanted to get Brexit done.”
- “It should be pointed out that everybody acknowledges there are issues with the protocol.”
- “We could be in a scenario where the EU and the UK have a deal, but then it’s not backed by the DUP – and then we’re back to square one.”
- “There has to be something that satisfies everybody, it can’t be just a one way street.”
