Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said that duty-free shopping between Ireland and Britain is likely to be part of the proposed Brexit trade deal.
The agreement, reached on Christmas Eve, will see no tariffs or quotas in trade.
Irish people will still be able to live, work and study in the UK, unlike other EU member states.
It’s official: A #BrexitDeal has been achieved.
It means:
✅ No rigid borders in Ireland
✅ Good Friday Agreement protected
✅ Protected single market
✅ No tariffs or quotas in trade
✅ A new beginning for relations with the UK pic.twitter.com/SKsCffMSas– Fine Gael (@FineGael) Dec 24, 2020
Ministers will be asked to approve the terms of the deal at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
Mr Varadkar says there will be customs procedures in place.
“Unfortunately, there is going to be a new bureaucracy for companies; fill out customs and there will be controls at ports and airports.
“So there will be costs and delays for companies, but it could have been a much worse situation if we ended up with tariffs and quotas.”
