Taoiseach tells Johnson overriding NI protocol would destabilise Good Friday Agreement

“I also said to the British Prime Minister, that the British government cannot continue to say that European Union is being inflexible and isn't moving,” the Taoiseach said.

The Taoiseach says he told Boris Johnson that circumventing the protocol would destabilise Northern Ireland and trust has been eroded between the EU and the UK.

UK-Ireland relations have been under considerable strain as the British government continues to threaten to override the Northern Ireland Protocol.
