A totally different standard applied to Northern Ireland and to the citizens of Northern Ireland, as far as biosecurity is concerned. The levels of protection that the UK Government insisted were right for the citizens of most of the United Kingdom could not have been more different from those that the EU provided for Northern Ireland, because the UK, as tonight, as in these regulations, abdicated its biosecurity responsibilities over part of the United Kingdom. It is an atrocious situation that we find ourselves in.
