When the UK voted to leave the EU, Northern Ireland became one of the most contentious aspects of the Brexit negotiations. The prospect of a border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland threatened to undermine the Good Friday agreement, and resurfaced divisions about Irish reunification. Although the Windsor Framework was eventually introduced in 2023, the political and economic uncertainty of the negotiation years has had lasting implications. Alex Forsyth is joined by John Campbell, 91¸£ÀûÉç Northern Ireland’s Business and Economics Editor, and Katy Hayward, Professor of Political Sociology at Queens’ University, Belfast, to look at how Brexit has shaped Northern Ireland in the decade since the referendum vote. Presenter: Alex Forsyth Producers: Sally Abrahams Editor: Richard Vadon Studio engineer and sound mix: James Beard Production co-ordinator: Tim Fernley
