Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Brexit, the Good Friday-Belfast Agreement and the Environment: Discussion

Mr. Chris Hazzard:

The wider context about which I want to ask is that much of this is based on a backstop and there being a soft Brexit, in whatever form it might take, but the reality is it looks as if we are hurtling towards a no-deal Brexit. It is extremely difficult to see how Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt would deliver a Brexit that would take the effect of this into account. In that light, if we were to play out a no-deal Brexit scenario, what would be the impact in dealing with some of the issues about which we are speaking? What would we see that was different?
