Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said there is pressure on the EU and UK to come up with solutions to the Northern Ireland Protocol tensions by June, ahead of the loyalist marching season

Speaking after a meeting with European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic, Mr Coveney said: "The last thing we want to see is… moving into a marching season this summer, without Covid-19 restrictions keeping people in their homes, without many of these issues resolved politically.

Mr Coveney said both sides were discussing a number of ideas, and that there could be a meeting of the EU-UK Joint Committee, which implements the Protocol, in the first week of June. He also said both sides would have to work together "technically, legally and politically" if they were to reach some kind of joint EU-UK veterinary agreement that would "reduce the need for the majority of inspections at ports in Northern Ireland.
