The NI/ROI Protocol

FB_IMG_1624565025573.jpg
 
You do realise that there has always been an extra cost to deliver to NI, just like there is an extra delivery cost for Scottish Highlands and Islands, you folks ard just being exploited because such a song and dance has been made over the current situation, not helped by politicians and media.

Interestingly I ordered semen from Germany 6 weeks ago, around the same time a friend in NI ordered from the same company, the NI shipment arrived two weeks ago and mine is still sitting waiting to be released at the import centre.
The NI tank was also €8 cheaper than the UK one and I'm paying storage while my tank sits waiting for extra paperwork being done.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, people just have to learn to live with that because I'm not sure much is changing any time soon.

I was in NI recently with a trailer and picked up box profile sheets, there was a 14 week wait on them here, a mate ordered them for me in NI and I had them in just over 6.
If I'd known I could have brought Sam's mat with me

Spot on Jeffrey

Micheál Martin was responding to an accusation by DUP leader-designate Sir Jeffrey Donaldson that the Irish government was "cheerleading" for the protocol.

What Jeffrey forgets to admit, is that his party practically dug the foundations, put in the steel, poured the concrete and brought the wall above ground level.
With one single vote in the House of Commons, the DUP could have singlehandedly prevented the wall ever having been designed never mind constructed.

Oh dear….I didn’t realise it was possible to give a sh1t or bust ultimatum, to the side who “held all the cards”.

how it the EU problem, the Eu/RoI was willing to put in a land border, we saw the 40 odd cars, they were rebuilding the custom post and starting to employ people to man the post. it wasn't till the Tory's bend the knee to SF (who threaten violence) that a land border was took off the cards

so if the UK puts in a land border you have the nIRA to deal with. and a sea border you have the "loyalest" to deal with
i if the troubles do start up again it is British (and only British) troops that will suffer

so please explain how "it" the EU problem ?

That's hardly surprising.
I'm amazed any voters are naive/crazy/stupid enough to trust the majority of political parties, let alone an NI based one.

Interestingly the survey found there is support for the Protocol, in equal measure to those against it.
