Dealing with concerns around the Northern Ireland Protocol “isn’t rocket science”, and a solution must be found, a former Irish premier has said. “I really, really believe that this isn’t rocket science,” he said. “It’s beyond comprehension, there has to be a solution that is unique to Northern Ireland,” he said. Mr Ahern was speaking to MPs as he gave evidence to the Northern Ireland Committee at Westminster around the workings of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. He emphasised that compromise is the only way that Northern Ireland will work.
