Northern Ireland and the border "shouldn't become an issue" in the ongoing Brexit talks.
Agreement was reached recently between the EU and UK over the implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol.
This means trade between the North and the UK and Ireland can continue in the event of a no deal Brexit.
While it appears more likely a deal will be reached before the end of the transition period on December 31st, Journalist Karen Coleman told Shannonside Northern Sound today that a lot remains to be done:
Meanwhile, the Brexit transition period could effectively be extended if there's no trade deal.
It was one of the options EU negotiator Michel Barnier outlined to member states this morning. He also said it's possible there could be a short 'no-deal' period in January - even if a trade deal's agreed.
Talks are continuing between British and EU negotiators today, with the transition period due to end on December 31st.
