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:
Police carry out investigation following concerns over welfare of dog
Residency requirements and 2027 implementation among proposed changes to assisted dying bill
Isle of Man public service grows to 7,500
Prison mental health services unsafe, review says
Bus price set to rise from next weekÂ
