UK's relationship with Ireland
6 September 2017 at 00:00:00
Watch below as I question the Brexit Secretarty over our future relationship with Ireland.
I should declare that my husband is a dual Irish-British national, which gives me a particular interest in the relationship we have after Brexit with our largest trading partner in the EU. The Secretary of State talked about "significant, concrete progress" in this vital area. Yet when I was in Ireland this summer, commentators universally were saying what Fintan O'Toole from The Irish Times said:
"behind all of these delightful reassurances, there is sweet""”
here I paraphrase"”"nothing". Will the Secretary of State please detail what that "significant, concrete progress" is, or are his descriptions of this magic border just a whim?
