UK NI bill “marks a new low” – Kelly

The UK’s controversial bill on the Northern Ireland Protocol has been debated in the European Parliament.

The proposed bill, which passed the second reading stage in the UK House of Commons last month, would allow the UK government to unilaterally ignore EU-UK arrangements for Northern Ireland after Brexit. 

Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly, who called for today’s debate, told the Parliament the bill marks a new low in relations between the EU and the UK. The Ireland South MEP says today’s debate sends a clear message to the UK that the bill is unacceptable.
