Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Representatives from the Committee on the Administration of Justice

Mr. John Finucane:

I am conscious that I only have a few minutes left. What would the request be, specifically, if the committee agrees to make representations? To repeat what I said earlier, this is a fundamental attack on the Good Friday Agreement and it shows a clear commitment to renege on the protocol. What exactly could the Irish Government, individually or as a member state, do to apply pressure to the British Government on this issue?
