​The UK will remain a full  Member State until it formally exits the EU.

There will be no impact on current projects where applications under TEN-T have been approved by the European Commission.

The planning and implementation of the A5 project is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland authorities. The Irish Government's commitment to the A5 is as set out in the Stormont House Agreement and Implementation Plan - A Fresh Start.
