Irish not to blame

Sir — Dan O’Brien (Sunday Independent, November 4) stated that David Trimble wrote recently, blaming the Irish side for the impasse over Brexit and we were breaching the Good Friday Agreement. That is simply not the truth.

The British Government and the DUP are the main offenders. As Arlene Foster stated recently that she wanted the Good Friday Agreement renegotiated and the British government is also to blame for going back on the backstop agreement that they agreed upon last December.

The main blame lies between themselves and the DUP. The Irish Government is right to speak out for our interests. Matt Molloy,
