Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Impact of Brexit on the Divergence of Rights and Best Practice on the Island of Ireland: Discussion

Ms Alyson Kilpatrick:

I will clarify a matter. I missed the opportunity to do so earlier. On the observation made, I will clarify that the NIHRC gives the same advice irrespective of whether a party is in government or opposition. We are concerned only with the fact that this is unlawful and contrary to human rights. We will continue to give that advice if the Labour Party gets elected in the UK. We respond to all. Our job is also to advise the government. I wanted to make that clear. We have no interest in the politics of it.
