UK Prime Minister 'over the moon' over N. Ireland deal with EU

Description

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he's 'over the moon' about a new deal on Northern Ireland's borders which he says will protect the peace dividend of the Good Friday Agreement. Speaking at a Coca-Cola factory in the province, Sunak says "Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position... having privileged access, not just to the UK home market... but also the European Union single market." The DUP are yet to confirm whether they will welcome the proposed agreement and resume their key role in Northern Ireland's power-sharing executive at Stormont.
