British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was 'giving it everything' to strike a new post-Brexit deal with the European Union on Northern Ireland's trade arrangements, calling it vital to ensuring a return to power-sharing in the province.
Sunak said he would try to resolve the concerns about the deal expressed by the Democratic Unionist Party , which is worried about the EU retaining influence over Northern Ireland.earlier on Saturday that Britain and the EU were inching forwards.
Sunak said he was hopeful of a positive outcome to the talks and he would spend the weekend trying to finish them. In a nod to the DUP, he said the 1998 Good Friday peace deal for Northern Ireland had been unbalanced by the protocol, which has prompted the DUP to boycott Northern Ireland's assembly. "If we want to restore the power-sharing institutions in Northern Ireland, which I very much want to do and I think that's what people need and deserve, then we need to resolve the issues of the protocol," Sunak said.
He said Wednesday's shooting of a police officer "reminds us of the delicate situation in Northern Ireland, the fragility of it, and we shouldn’t take it for granted. And that’s why getting power-sharing up and running is really important."The Sunday Times said Sunak was confident the deal met all the DUP's conditions but the party was unhappy that Northern Ireland would have to apply some EU single-market legislation, unlike the rest of the United Kingdom.
