THE IRISH Taoiseach has said issues around the Northern Ireland Protocol “can be resolved.”He was speaking at a summit of European leaders in Prague, where he met with Liz Truss for the first time since she replaced Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. “But I do think there’s good faith on all sides. It keeps Northern Ireland inside the EU's single market for goods and avoids breaching the Good Friday Agreement by guaranteeing no checks on goods at the Irish border. However, it does this by effectively placing a border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Protocol Bill has already cleared the House of Commons and will be debated at second reading by the House of Lords, which is expected to consider it at length, next week.
