Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy will see the text tomorrow. It will be published at 12 noon. I am not at liberty, for reasons I am sure the Deputy will appreciate, to go through it here today. However, I will organise briefings for the party leaders tomorrow to ensure they or their spokespeople are fully apprised of it as soon as we are at liberty to talk about its contents.

The term, which appears in the joint report and the political agreement made back in December, is that in the backstop scenario, the option C scenario, the United Kingdom will ensure that Northern Ireland maintains full regulatory alignment with the European Union, thus allowing for us to avoid a hard border. The protocol to the withdrawal agreement, which will be published tomorrow, details exactly how that can be done.
