Arlene Foster has said that the Good Friday Agreement could be altered to accommodate a Brexit deal. She claimed it was a “misinterpretation” to hold the Belfast peace agreement up as sacrosanct. Ms Foster said: "Nobody wants to see a no-deal situation and that's why we've been supporting the Prime Minister in trying to get a deal with the European Union. Sinn Féin have said her comments are "reckless", with the party's leader, Mary Lou McDonald, saying the Good Friday Agreement cannot be used as a "bargaining chip" in negotiations. Sinn Féin Brexit spokesperson David Cullinane said it is a very worrying development.
