Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald said any suggestion or any move of bad faith in respect of the withdrawal agreement by the British government is completely unacceptable.

Responding to reports that Boris Johnson is seeking to introduce new legislation which will have the impact of rowing back on the withdrawal agreement, including the Northern Irish protocol, Ms McDonald called on the Government to make clear any moves would be “very dangerous”.
