Incoming DUP leader calls for Northern Ireland protocol to be abolished

A Fianna Fáil MEP has told the incoming DUP leader there's no chance of the Northern Ireland protocol being abolished.

It's after the Edwin Poots said yesterday the deal had been 'hugely damaging' to the North and should be scrapped.

He wants the Irish government to withdraw its support for the agreement, which involves checks on goods into the North as a result of Brexit.

But MEP Barry Andrews is dismissing his comments.
