We began the day with a proactive roundtable with the business community in Newry.

Unnecessary barriers to trade are failing business and prevents the NI economy from flourishing.

Business wants a deal on the NI Protocol.

Health knows no borders.

An all island approach to health is needed.

Daisy Hill Hospital represents this need-serving the communities of Armagh, Down, Monaghan & Louth.

This is an area that falls outside the Protocol but can be progressed by government North & South.

.@PortWarrenpoint is a border port with an invisible border 100m away.

The port is in a strategically significant location & is an asset to the entire island-40% of goods are origin/destination in ROI.

Business wants a Protocol that provides solutions & opportunities.

It is clear from today’s meetings that:

-Northern Ireland needs a functioning assembly and executive urgently
-Political decisions are being delayed at present and it is holding back the full economic potential of NI
-Business wants stability and a deal on NI Protocol
