The Government of Ireland is concerned by the hostile tone of the United Kingdom towards the Protocol of Northern Ireland – RTE

“The The government is concerned about the increasingly hostile tone of the UK government towards the Northern Ireland Protocol ”Reports RTÉ News, citing a senior Irish source.

The source has also described as “irresponsible” the suggestion, according to the British government, that the EU would have to offer a solution to the problems related to the backstop before 12 July.

This comes after the Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin, held an extensive discussion on Northern Ireland and British-Irish affairs with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at Checkers on Friday.

Martin tweeted: “We also reaffirm the commitment of both governments to the Good Friday Agreement and its institutions.”
