Barry Andrews, a Fianna Fáil MEP for Dublin, told reporters this afternoon that the US needed to get involved and play a “proactive role”.“The US government needs to take a little bit more proactive role… It feels to me like they’re not involved in this at this moment in time.” He said that the previous US Congress delegation to Ireland and Northern Ireland added “nothing whatsoever”, and that threats to abandon a US-UK trade deal was never a possibility.
“My concern is that there’s no goodwill coming from the UK and this is primarily Tory domestic politics,” said Kelleher.“There is just a deep unwillingness from the Tories perspective to settle because it just plays into politics at the moment.” “If they go ahead with it and it’s passed, then the EU is not going to back down. They can’t,” said Kelly.Yesterday, European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness said that the current UK Government approach of unilateral action on the Northern Ireland Protocol is not helpful for relationships between the UK and EU, especially while both sides are working together on the war in Ukraine.
