The new seemingly coalition government according to media detail consists mainly of Fine gael candidates reiterating non national views. The minister for foreign affairs is reportedly insisting on so called northern Ireland protocol, that is no border, which opposes eu protocol.
Criticism of new British legislation, the internal markets bill, and of the idea of a border, from within the Irish government and elsewhere opposes protocol that could conceivably be in Ireland’s interests and the only option for a free state, yet misrepresentations have reported the possible effects to be opposing Ireland’s interests.
