The British Government is irresponsible and reckless.

The British Government is irresponsible and reckless.

Speaking today (13 June 2022) following the publication of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, Chambers Ireland Chief Executive, Ian Talbot, said:

“This move by the British Government is irresponsible and reckless. Ordinary people across the island simply want to be able to move on with their lives without politicians playing to the party-political gallery.

“The British Government may write platitudes about the ‘rules-based international order’ in the New York Times, but actions like today’s demonstrate how unreliable an actor they can be.

“Yet again Irish businesses must begin planning for a no-deal brexit.

“This is no way to conduct business. Only the least reliable of counterparties are so fickle and false with their word. How can any state expect a genuine relationship with Britain when this is how they act.”
