Efforts to resolve the Northern Ireland Protocol row will be raised later during talks with Stormont parties as LeoVaradkar and Keir_Starmer travel to Belfast
The NI Protocol is part of the UK's Brexit deal that keeps Northern Ireland aligned with the EU's single market for goodsEfforts to resolve the row over the Northern Ireland Protocol will be raised during talks later between Stormont parties and political leaders from Dublin and London.
However, it also creates a new trade border between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, something the EU accepts is causing difficulties for many businesses. The government set in place a deadline of 19 January for the parties at Stormont to form a power-sharing executive.The deadline, therefore, is highly unlikely to be met next week, which means Mr Heaton-Harris is expected to trigger another three-month period to allow the protocol negotiations to make progress.Most politicians elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly want the protocol to remain
The Irish government said Thursday's high-level visits were a clear sign of its commitment to resolving the difficulties over the protocol and helping "ensure that the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement can once again operate effectively".
