Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Ireland’s PM warns Downing Street against unilateral action on Northern Ireland protocol” – below is their description.
Speaking to the European parliament, the taoiseach, Michéal Martin, warned the UK against attempts to undermine a fragile post-Brexit trade deal which regulates goods crossing from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. It would mark a “historic low point”, said Martin during a speech in which he also mentioned the conflict in Ukraine. The remarks come as Downing Street prepares to propose legislation which would allow it to bypass parts of the Northern Ireland protocol.
