Edwin Poots defends decision to suspend post-Brexit checks at ports

Stormont Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots says he can “absolutely and totally stand over” a decision to temporarily withdraw staff from post-Brexit checks at ports earlier this year.
Mr Poots said he was “very concerned” about the risk to staff and revealed that the independent charity Crimestoppers received a report of a threat against staff from a “coded source”.
He rejected the suggestion his decision was made in opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol, and went on to accuse the Stormont Agriculture Committee of conducting a “politically driven” inquiry into the matter.
