NI civic society organisations say no Brexit deal without an NI protocol
Civic society organisations from across Northern Ireland are calling for an NI protocol to be an essential element of any Brexit deal
On the 2nd August, NICVA hosted a major gathering of Northern Ireland civic society organisations from the voluntary and community, business, trade union and farming sectors to discuss the growing and widespread concerns about the impending threat of a no deal Brexit. On the back of these discussions, the following organisations from across NI civic society have issued this joint statement -
“The UK leaving the EU without a deal would have catastrophic consequences for Northern Ireland’s economy, environment, and society, given its unique geographic, economic, and political circumstances. We believe a Northern Ireland protocol to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland must be an essential prerequisite for any withdrawal agreement between the UK and the EU and an essential minimum requirement for UK withdrawal from the EU.”
