BIC members convey concerns to UK govt
British Irish Council representatives, including the chief minister, have been relaying their concerns about Brexit to UK politicians at a specially-arranged BIC summit.
These included David Jones MP, the British government's minister of state at the Department For Exiting the European Union and the new Northern Ireland secretary, James Brokenshire MP.
Allan Bell says the leaders of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the Crown Dependencies demanded their countries and islands be involved in the process of exiting Europe from the start.
He says they put their points across, but got little in return, as there remains so much uncertainty about what happens post-Brexit:
Steam Packet praises passengers and crew following 'significantly rougher' than normal crossing
Bus Vannin invests in six new double-deckers
MiCard alternatives 'must be better than what we already have'
Last chance for central residents to respond to 20mph consultation
Spitfire passenger flights to launch from Ronaldsway
