Statement by TUV spokesperson John Brennan:
“With another North South Ministerial Council meeting taking place today, this time to discuss education, any pretence that there is any meaningful impact on the North/South architecture of the Belfast Agreement under the new DUP leadership is out the window.
“While our East/West relations have been trashed dealings with the Dublin government continue as normal.
“It seems that those who talked tough a few weeks ago and boasted of a boycott only did so in attempt to win support within their party. Such a farce will cut no ice with grassroots Unionists.”
