Unilateral action on N. Ireland is wrong, Sinn Fein tells UKs Johnson

div classBodysc17zpet90 cdBBJodivpHILLSBOROUGH, Northern Ireland Reuters – Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald said her party had a “fairly tough” meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday in which they told him taking unilateral action over postBrexit trade rules for Northern Ireland would be wrong.

McDonald said Johnson was not clear with her about the details of proposed domestic legislation which would effectively disapply parts of the socalled Northern Ireland protocol.pdivdivdiv classBodysc17zpet90 cdBBJodiv

“We have said directly to him that the proposed unilateral act of legislating at Westminster is wrong. It seems to us absolutely extraordinary that the British government would propose to legislate to break the law,” McDonald told reporters following a meeting with Johnson in Northern Ireland.

“Weve had no straight answers really from the British Prime Minister.”
