Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said there is a real danger that Ireland could become semi-detached from the EU single market if the UK Protocol Bill becomes law

He said that if the British government pushes ahead with legislation to scrap the bulk of the Northern Ireland Protocol, Ireland may have to face checks on its goods entering the EU single market.

Speaking to the Institute of International and European Affairs, Mr Ahern said:"If this was to continue on down the slippery slope and the legislation is passed, the EU will say that they have to see the single market implemented and if there is no land border then it has to be in ports. "I think that's the last resort and it's something we don't want to see but I'm afraid after last week's position it is a step or two nearer."

Asked if there is a danger that Ireland could become semi-detached from the single market, Mr Ahern said:"Yes."

Everything is going to plan, thank the government for complying with the globalists, as the vaccines have the hospitals full, skies sprayed toxins, no oxygen in the air, food, oil shortages, housing, next power cuts for the winter 👍Great work on the extermination process 👍👍

Bertie is the guy that ruined the Country back in 2008. He should be banned from speaking in public!

Irexit.

Bertie was fully detached from a bank account

I don’t know this guy but I would fecking hope the EU slaps BoJo into place and kick Liz Truss’ arse hard

He means fully detached, we're semi detached now..

The single market / EU is about to implode anyway Bertie thanks to the EU being the US lapdogs

I can’t understand how this guy still has the balls to open his mouth after what he did to the country.

Bertie who ? Is this the fellow who got his place done up for free. Didn’t have any recollection of it. The same fellow who never ever had a bank account. This fellow was definitely gone with the fairy’s and makes for an interesting read in the Mahon tribunal report. Disgraceful.

The EU can't let that happen.

What other criminals have you asked for comment?

Detached would be preferable

Ah Jaysus Bertie's still sitting up eating a bit....wonders will never cease.
