Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

To make one thing clear, while some voices in the Conservative party may be questioning the withdrawal agreement, this is an international treaty to which the British Government has signed up. I have certainly not seen the Prime Minister or Michael Gove move away from the commitments made in that agreement. It is hugely important to state that while there may be some views that question the sense of the withdrawal agreement, after it has been signed, this is a legal agreement between the EU and the UK and it was signed only six months ago, or just over that. The focus has to be on the implementation of the withdrawal agreement and not on some kind of renegotiation, which is not possible. More importantly, now, is the necessity of focusing on putting a new agreement in place that is consistent with the joint political declaration, that was also agreed at the same time as the withdrawal agreement, to ensure there is a sensible relationship that works for the UK and the EU in the future.
