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:
Southern 100 planning to run classic sidecars for 2026
BMA to ballot doctors in the IOM for industrial action
Manx air quality 'significantly' better than UK average
Visitors told "take extra care" as TT Fan Park to reopen
Sidecars have 'been my life' says Lambert
