Voters in the North are evenly split on the Northern Ireland protocol. But the most popular way forward is for a negotiated solution that would retain the agreement but make changes in order to ease its implementation, according to new research.
The research was carried out as part of the North and South series for The Irish Times and Arins, which is a joint project of the Royal Irish Academy and the University of Notre Dame in the US dedicated to analysing and researching Ireland North and South.
