Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implication of Brexit for Health Law in Ireland and EU: Discussion

Professor Tamara Hervey:

I 100% agree that there is another cliff edge that we need to pay attention to at the end of 2020. Of course, as the Deputy has said, this all depends on the government that is elected in the UK. If it is a Johnson-led Government we cannot even believe, as she pointed out, that the Government will hold true to its word because it has been unable to. If it is not a Johnson-led government then there might be a little bit more sense in terms of timelines.

Apparently, Jeremy Corbyn has said that he wants to present another referendum, within six months, on a new withdrawal agreement.
