This was designed to ensure goods could move freely across the Irish land border, from the UK into an EU member state, the Republic of Ireland.
The Democratic Unionist Party says the protocol has undermined Northern Ireland's position within the UK and the party collapsed the Northern Ireland Executive, which is similar to the UK cabinet, in February. Also speaking to Sky News, Ms O'Neill said it was not lost on the wider public that the DUP did not like the election results and they had "difficulty" entering an executive led by her party."What I want to see in the time ahead is very mature, sensible political discussion between the British government and the EU side. Let's find an agreed way to solve the issues around the protocol.
