Brexit news latest – EU vaccine blame game deepens as bungled jabs rollout and threats against UK leave countries fuming
COUNCIL staff at Northern Ireland’s Larne Port have been withdrawn from inspection duties amid concerns for their safety following a rise in anti-Protocol sentiment.
The decision was made following an “upsurge in sinister and menacing behaviour in recent weeks”, as graffiti appeared last month referencing tensions about the Northern Ireland Protocol and calling port staff “targets”.
The council said the ongoing situation has caused “extreme distress and worry to staff”, and it had no option but to withdraw 12 staff from their duties.
