The political impasse over the Northern Ireland Protocol could lead to the 'funeral of the Good Friday Agreement', says edwinpootsmla
Mr Poots also said US President Joe Biden could be visiting Ireland next year for the "funeral" of the Good Friday Agreement rather than a celebration of its 25th anniversary.
The executive is at the heart of Northern Ireland's devolved government, made up of ministers nominated to oversee key departments such as health, finance and justice.Mr Poots was responding to remarks from Prime Minister Liz Truss, who said there was no reason an assembly and executive should not be re-established at Stormont now.
"The prime minister knows what the DUP's position is, and it is reflecting of all of unionism's position in that no-one accepts that the protocol is the way forward for Northern Ireland," Mr Poots said. "Therefore there will not be an assembly and there will not be institutions of the Good Friday Agreement whilst we have the protocol - the two things are incompatible.", when officials will meet for technical level talks.
