EU ‘close to the end of the road’ over Northern Ireland protocol

Point will come when EU says enough, we cannot compromise any more', warns Irish foreign minister

The EU is close to the end of the road with the UK over the Northern Ireland protocol, accusing David Frost, the Brexit minister, of trying to undermine serious attempts to solve the problem, the Irish foreign minister has said.

Simon Coveney said he had spoken to Lord Frost's counterpart, the European Commission vice-president, Maro efovi, on Sunday. They have agreed there would come a point when the EU will say: enough, we cannot compromise any more", Coveney said.
