UK Government delay bill to dismantle Northern Ireland Protocol

There's been a delay to the publication of the Bill to dismantle the Northern Ireland Protocol.

The DUP claimed it was due to be published today, however it's understood a disagreement within the British government will see it's publication postponed, possibly until next week.

The Irish Times reports that Prime Minister Boris Johnson hasn't made a decision on whether the law will immediately scrap parts of the Brexit trade deal, or give Ministers the power to do that at a later date.

However Fine Gael's European Affairs spokesperson Neale Richmond believes the British government is distracted.
