Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Impact of Brexit on the Good Friday Agreement: Discussion (Resumed)

2:15 pm

Dr. Katy Hayward:

I wish to make one point on the common travel area. Following on from Professor Phinnemore's point, in the protocol of the draft withdrawal agreement there is an emphasis upon recognising the common travel area and bilateral arrangements and narrowing bilateral arrangements. They are not defined and as was said, there is a need to define them to protect what we enjoy already but also there is a scope there, especially building on the Good Friday Agreement, for thinking imaginatively in these terms about bilateral arrangements North-South and east-west.
