Government sceptical of UK's sincerity in wanting to avoid triggering Article 16

EU Commission vice president Maros Sefcovic speaking at Europe House in Westminster, London today after he attended a fourth meeting to attempt to resolve issues between the EU and Britain about the Northern Ireland Protocol.

The Government is still sceptical of the British government's sincerity in seeking to avoid triggering the Article 16 break clause of the Northern Ireland Brexit protocol.

Dublin remains concerned that the British will still seek to trigger the break when the Cop26 conference has come to an end.
