After the victory, the newly elected Poots promised to fight against the part of the Brexit agreement that states that Northern Ireland will continue to comply with EU customs rules, ie that deliveries within the UK to and from Northern Ireland will be controlled instead of between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
- The Northern Ireland Protocol has proved to be a comprehensive challenge for us, and it is up to us together to fight against the agreement to ensure that everyone living in Northern Ireland does not get worse because of it, says Poots.
