i was engulfed last last week meeting with northern irish, chamber of commerce manufacturing northern ireland and other organizations. the real concern i would say is , whatn northern ireland lies ahead is a genuine sense of foreboding. while i concur absolutely with what can said about the commitment of the british government to the peace process and absence of a hard border, it is an inescapable truth that brexit reintroduced the border question in a way that it was otherwise absent. let's not forget what are the architects of the good friday agreement talked about europe changing the geometry of the conversation in northern ireland. it created the space in which irish,itself identify as self identify as british, and find common ground after years of sectarian conflict. i am deeply troubled to the effect that brexit is going to have on the goodwill and seriousness with which both governments want to find a way forward, but the reality is there are difficult days ahead. the statistic was from the british social latitude survey. 87% of the 45% devoted to remain, a small percentage of

island really wants northern ireland, and or northern ireland and the rest of the uk, to remain in aas to ensure that there is no hard border there. island doesn't want to stop brexit, ireland is resigned to brexit. before it happened it thought, 0k, we might be able to persuade people to see the sense in staying. northern ireland is a contradiction because the dui t, the party calling the shots in this seemingly, is the only northern ireland party that supported brexit -- dup. the ireland party that supported brexit —— dup. the vast majority of northern irish voters wanted to remain but the dup is calling the shots because of the commons arithmetic. it's pretty clear, and it was clear in the commons today, that theresa may simply will not be able to get past her own party, let alone the wider parliament. this idea of some kind of permanent customs union foi either northern ireland or northern ireland and the rest of the uk. you're very experienced, you've been to brussels over the years, it's basically a compromised machine, it works on finding agreement 2a hours a day and has been

to the people of northern ireland it is not a red herring. it is a fact.ve to respect the collective uk vote. some of the farmers for example, and i know this industry really well, who voted to leave, are now coming to me to say that they want me to make sure that their lambs can be sold into france and the milk they produce is eu milk. there is an element of people not understanding what the vote did to the relationship with the european union. i also would say that within unionism there is also a desire not to have a hard border. what's lacking is an understanding of, where there is no deal or a bad deal, if we don't respect what's in the withdrawal agreement, which frankly is what is missing in the understanding, no one wants to use the backstop, but we need it as an insurance policy. we hope that if the backstop is agreed, the withdrawal agreement in its entirety, march comes, the uk leaves, i regret that, but the uk leaves, then we have a transition when we come to this future relationship on trade, on standards, which is so, if you like, close and ef
