[QUOTE="nivilla1982, post: 7419175, member: 45400"] Earlier Stormont Economy Minister Diane Dodds said she was "not against a short Swiss-style deal" to ease Brexit trade issues across the Irish Sea but warned it would have to apply UK-wide. But then, on Wednesday afternoon, DUP leader Arlene Foster said that a Swiss-style UK-EU deal to resolve Brexit trade issues across the Irish Sea would not be a full solution. She added that the arrangement would only deal with one aspect of checks, while requiring the whole of the UK to follow some EU rules. "It would only be part of a solution, and only if the UK government would buy into the entirety of the UK aligning, so for us what we're really interested in is a long-term solution.. and that's not it," the first minister told BBC News NI. Mrs Foster said the UK internal market was "being ruptured" by the protocol, and that the promise of GB-NI unfettered access needed to be delivered by Boris Johnson. The protocol keeps NI in the EU single market for goods to ensure free trade across the Irish border but many unionists have criticised the knock-on effects of disruption and extra paperwork for transporting some goods from Great Britain to NI.
