"Therefore, whenever Ireland invites President Biden to come over for the 25th anniversary of the Belfast Agreement in Easter next year, unless something radical happens and the EU decide to become a bit more realistic, then he will be coming over to the funeral of the Good Friday Agreement, not to the celebration of its 25th anniversary.”
"So the great prize in all of this is fix it, resolve these issues once and for all, get Northern Ireland out of this economic mess that the protocol has put it into and we will see the Assembly re-established."
