Mr Ahern predicted, “They will be part of the UK internal market, I think they’re part of the UK, so they should be and they’ll be part of the [European] single market.'
A deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol is “doable”, former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has predicted.
“They did find solutions to medicines and I think they can find solutions to some of the horticultural issues and some of the other issues too.” The DUP have issued a list of seven demands which include the abolition of checks between Britain and Northern Ireland, no new regulatory barriers within the United Kingdom and giving the people of the North “a say in laws that govern them.”
“This is what I want to see them end up with; Northern Ireland will end up [with] cross border trade with the Republic,” he said.
