So, in a matter of days we've gone from "we are nowhere near any deal and the UK has not provided any real plan" to a deal both the UK & ROI are happy with? :wall:

One area that will go down like a lead balloon in the UK is the rebate against tariffs. The UK will have to compensate NI with cash they pass onto businesses where the UK import tariffs are lower than the EU if I'm reading this right?
I'm not sure the EU will like that either because won't that mean NI could shift to buying
through the UK and to get the rebate at the cost of products they would normally buy from the EU?
The other issue for the EU is the Stormont "lock". The EU said no chance to that. Now we will get to see whether that was posturing or ROI has some friends they can get onside.
And now we get this...

A few days again we were nowhere near "the tunnel". Now things have progressed so far, despite a lack of any oversight by either Parliament, that Barnier has green lighted it with the full support of the other 27 countries. :huh:
So, it's deal here we come. But then we have the matter if our own Parliament...:doh:
