Simon and Elaine are joined by Political Correspondent Hugh O'Connell to discuss the Taoiseach heading to Belfast to tackle the Stormont stalemate. Micheál Martin is meeting party leaders for talks and will host a delegation from the business community. The DUP is refusing to restore power-sharing until its concerns about the protocol are addressed. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has described Britain's moves to unilaterally discard the Northern Ireland Protocol as "deeply concerning". She says "[If] the United Kingdom chooses to undermine the Good Friday Accords, the Congress cannot and will not support a bilateral free trade agreement with the United Kingdom." #IrelandAM #NorthernIreland #TheProtocol #BorisJohnson #AssemblyElection #AE22 #Taoiseach #MichaelMartin #NancyPeloski #Brexit #MicheálMartin
