Impact of Brexit on Trade in Ireland: Discussion
Ms Anne Coleman-Dunne:
I ask my colleague, Mr. Hughes, to talk about that. To be clear, the whole intention with the protocol is that we will not have any regulatory checks or controls on the island of Ireland. That has been very hard fought for by us, feeding into the Commission etc. There is an issue around goods inputs from both parts of the island and whether they can meet the origin requirements under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and benefit from EU free trade agreements. Mr. Hughes is better able to speak to that.
