House of Lords EU Select Committee’s Inquiry on Brexit and UK-Irish Relations

Submission to the House of Lords European Union Select Committee’s Inquiry on Brexit and UK-Irish Relations

This document has been prepared by the Centre as a contribution to the House of Lords European Union Select Committee’s inquiry on UK-Irish relations and Brexit.

It is closely informed by the Centre’s particular concerns and builds on the series of Briefing Papers it published in the run-up to the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union.

The report addresses the specific issues posed by the Committee, namely: “soft border” arrangements, North-South relations during Brexit, the Common Travel Area, the rights of UK and Irish citizens, and the trading relationship between the UK and Ireland.

These issues are explored in more detail in a Briefing Paper published as a supplement to this submission.
