Commissioner McGuinness meets with Seanad Committee to discuss EU and UK relations post-Brexit, the NI Protocol, and the Trade & Cooperation Agreement

The Committee of Senators will meet at 9:30 am in Committee Room 1 of Leinster House.

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.; the Northern Ireland Protocol; and E.U. and U.K. relations post-Brexit with Commissioner McGuinness. The Committee had a very interesting debate with MEPs at our recent meeting where we got some insight at an EU level of what is truly happening on the ground around these important issues - topics crucial to the work of our Committee.”

Senator Chambers added: “The Committee looks forward to hearing from the Commissioner, getting her perspective on these issues and continuing this very important conversation.”
