Brexit: Remoaners humiliated as UK exports to EU soar to record high after bloc exit – Express

Irish premier Micheal Martin said the legislation is "anti-business and anti-industry".

He said: "The fundamental issue is one of trust because the EU did enter an international agreement with the UK Government, which is now, essentially, being reneged upon.

"A lot of European Union leaders are going to say: 'How are we going to trust you again if we do a further deal? How do we know you will adhere to that deal?'

"That is a fundamental issue that now has to be overcome. I think the EU will uphold its side and also seek to press the full adherence to the agreement.

"Nobody wants to be in a situation where we end up in acrimony or real difficulty, but I am afraid the British Government's decision to unilaterally press ahead with this legislation, which is ill-thought-out anyway, in terms of the detail of it, I think makes for very difficult times ahead."

He added: "I don't think it's well-thought-out-or well-thought-through and certainly doesn't match the realities on the ground in terms of experiences of those involved in various industries.

"For example, those involved in manufacturing are doing particularly well under the protocol and they're now very concerned, not just by the uncertainty that has been created, but also the fact that this represents an undermining of conditions."
