Northern Ireland political stability ‘important’ for investors

Political stability in Northern Ireland is important for American businesses looking to invest in the region, the US ambassador to the UK Jane Hartley has said.

He updated delegates on his ongoing negotiations with the UK Government over concerns about trade barriers created by the post-Brexit Northern Ireland protocol. Ms Hartley told the BBC Sunday Politics programme that restoring Stormont was important for the US, as well as for the people of Northern Ireland.“If you are talking to a CEO and you are encouraging them to look at Northern Ireland, which I do all the time, it would be important to have a sitting government.”

“There is so much opportunity there and all I do say is, just like any other place, stability is important and having a government to work with is important particularly in the long run.Meanwhile, Irish Tanaiste Micheal Martin has said it was critical the Windsor Framework was implemented fully and in good faith.

“It reaffirms Northern Ireland’s place in the UK’s internal market, while simultaneously giving access to the EU single market for goods.
