Speaking ahead of Monday’s meeting, Committee Cathaoirleach Senator Lisa Chambers said: “The Committee and I welcome the opportunity to discuss the ongoing implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the E.U. and the U.K.; issues surrounding the Northern Ireland Protocol; and E.U. support to assist Ireland in dealing with the challenges of Brexit.
