The Brexit day of action rally was held on Saturday in Killea Village.

Ms. Fleming said that the protest also highlighted “the urgent need for these concerns to be addressed by the Irish and British Governments”.

She added: “The uncertainty which is already damaging trade and investment and impacting on cross-border business will be as nothing compared to the hardships which will ensue with the imposition of tariffs and the restriction of the free movement of goods, services and people on this island.”

The protest was held amid growing concern over the impact Brexit will have on people in the border area.
