Date : Feb 21, 2024
Description :
Key points highlighted in the article. Some take ways from the article include :
Northern Ireland (NI) has finally developed a new government this month after a hiatus between the two main parties since the 2022 elections to the Stormont Assembly. The DUP was a signatory to Britain’s 2020 withdrawal agreement from the European Union (EU). The party has nevertheless not reconciled itself to the internal trade border created between NI and the rest of Britain, and has hence boycotted Stormont institutions since the 2022 regional elections. The 2023 Windsor framework addressed NI’s concerns over the U.K.’s withdrawal protocol and simplified the paperwork required to send goods to Great Britain from NI.
