Simon Coveney: UK's lack of compromise on NI Protocol is 'deeply disappointing'

Edwin Poots claimed the EU created an 'artificial threat to the EU single market'

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Simon Coveney: "People in the North are supportive of the protocol."

The North's First Minister says that he does not trust the EU as the Taoiseach and the UK's Michael Gove both said that progress on the Northern Ireland Protocol was possible.

Those comments came as Foreign Minister Simon Coveney labelled the lack of compromise on the protocol as "deeply disappointing".
