EU Ombudsman says Brexit report on NI should be published

EU Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly has defended her call on the European Commission to publish a key document about North-South cooperation underpinned by the EU, saying it is important that citizens be as informed as possible.

The confidential document spells out all the areas of North-South cooperation under the Good Friday Agreement that are at risk because of Brexit and deals with the so-called mapping exercise, which was a key part of the Irish Government's strategy to highlight the risks to the Good Friday Agreement.
