Both claim to be acting on the grounds of the Good Friday/Belfast 1998 Agreement.
🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇪
Both have a point…
But it’s complicated.

The Belfast/Good Friday #Agreement has 3 strands.
These strands represent the lines of division that gave rise to the #conflict:
* unionist/nationalist within NI,
* north/south across the border, &
* British/Irish.
The B/GFA formalised cooperation across these lines.

Underpinning it all is the British-Irish relationship
🇬🇧🇮🇪
That relationship was improved & became closer as a result of being ‘partners in the EU’ 🇪🇺
The EU was also a go-to model for some of that cross-border & multilevel cooperation.
