Submission to the House of Lords European Affairs Sub-Committee on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland’s introductory inquiry into the operation of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland
This document has been prepared by the Centre for Cross Border Studies in response to the call for evidence issued by the House of Lords European Affairs Sub-Committee on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.
This short submission is closely informed by the Centre’s particular knowledge of and experience in cross-border socio-economic development involving a range of sectors from both Northern Ireland and Ireland, including public bodies, business and civil society. It is also centred on the Centre’s ongoing efforts in monitoring the extent to which the necessary conditions for North-South cooperation are being maintained following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, as well as the Centre’s role in convening the Ad-Hoc Group for North-South and East-West Cooperation, and will only focus on issues more immediately relevant to our work.
