The Northern Ireland protocol means the province is now in an awkward position - inside the U.K. constitutionally, but outside in terms of trade. That is reawakening old debates and concerns about a return to the Troubles.Bertie Ahern, former Irish Taoiseach and one of the architects of the Good Friday agreement, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Roger Hearing and Caroline Hepker that he does not see a return to violence, but there is a tension now that has not been around for 20 years and people need to be calm.Colum Eastwood, SDLP MP for Foyle and party leader, sees working through the protocol as the best way forward but that Brexit will mean a difference in terms of trading with the rest of the U.K.And Claire Sugden, independent Unionist MLA at Stormont and a former Justice Minister, explains that a united Ireland is far from inevitable and the issues with the protocol are not insurmountable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
