Simon Coveney @simoncoveney@respublicae.eu

Spoke with @trussliz.
UK Govt now proposing to set aside Int Law, reject a partnership approach, ignore majority in NI & deliberately ratchet up tension with an EU seeking compromise.
We remain open to dialogue to find agreement but his approach adds to instability & is no fix.

RT @MarosSefcovic: Spoke to @trussliz earlier where she informed me of 🇬🇧legislation to unilaterally disapply the Protocol. The EU has always paid utmost attention to the impact Brexit has on NI, offering workable solutions. Unilateral action is damaging to mutual trust & a formula for uncertainty.

A read for anyone looking for an accurate insight into what’s really going on within UK Government relating to NI Protocol.
Internal Party division & leadership ambition still shaping decisions making - not international law or previous agreements. https://www.rte.ie/news/analysis-and-comment/2022/0611/1304135-uk-northern-ireland-protocol-bill/
