and the republic of ireland. that agreement meant northern ireland continuing to follow eu rules on product standards. instead, checks would take place on goods entering northern ireland from england, scotland, or wales, with inspections taking place at northern ireland ports. but that's prompted criticism that a new border has effectively been created in the irish sea. the uk also wants to change the role the european court ofjustice, the eu's highest court, has in overseeing all of this. lord frost said today his proposed text would amend the ni protocol and support the good friday agreement. the protocol is not working. it's completely lost consent in one community in northern ireland. it's not doing the thing it was set up to do 7 protect the belfast (good friday) agreement. in fact, it's doing the opposite. it has to change. they are expected on wednesday so we will know tomorrow how they are responding to this. we can speak now to stephen kelly, the chief executive of manufacturing ni. he represents manufac

ireland, haven't they? do you think that they will see jobs disappearing as a result of this change to 15%? that's a good question. it depends on the stickiness of the investment. some companies have moved to ireland and built factories or built lots of office spaces and planned to be there for a long time. ireland is going to be complying with this deal by applying the 15% rate to multinationals, but it still wants to be supportive of local irish companies and is going to maintain the 12.5% rate for purely domestic irish companies or companies small enough to be out of scope of the deal. now, ireland will be losing about 2 billion euros from this deal because of a reallocation of taxable profits so it is something where they are taking on the cost but bringing into something where they think they can still be attractive to multinational investment. what would you say to the claims that it will be mainly richer companies who will benefit from this and the poorer countries will see their tax incomes decrease

the northern ireland protocol was designed to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland, but has meant new checks on some products travelling from great britain. lord frost told the conservative conference in manchester that the arrangements agreed with the eu have begun to come apart even more quickly than we feared. we knew that we were taking a risk, but a worthy one in the cause of the good friday agreement, in the cause of protecting the peace. it was the right thing to do and ended our constitutional crisis. it meant our country could leave the eu, free and with real choices for the future. of course we wanted to negotiate something better. if it had not meant for the madness of the surrender act, we could have done so. so we worried right from the start that the protocol would not take the strain if not handled sensitively. as it has turned out, we were right. the arrangements have begun to come apart even more quickly than we feared. thanks to the eu's heavy—handed actions, cross community political risk —— support for the protocol has collapsed. businesses, political par
