“Numerous” products will be unavailable and there will be a “far greater proportion of empty shelves” when the grace period for supermarkets in Northern Ireland ends on March 31st, the North’s Minister for Agriculture has warned

nor of Education said it had concerns over major disruption to the food supply to hospitals or schools.The customs and regulatory border in the Irish Sea – which came into effect under the terms of the Northern Ireland protocol once the Brexit transition period ended – has led to problems with some deliveries from Britain to Northern Ireland and a shortage of some goods in supermarkets.

The North’s parties continue to be at odds over where the responsibility for the disruption lies, with the DUP blaming the Northern Ireland protocol and Sinn Féin, the SDLP and the Alliance Party saying responsibility lies with Brexit and with the DUP, who supported it.

Maybe we should send some stuff up to them

Wonder does DUPleader still think brexit is a good idea?
