How to manage the land border between EU-member Ireland and Northern Ireland - and in particular the emergency “backstop” proposal to prevent the return of extensive controls - has bedeviled Brexit negotiations for the last three years. “There will be checks on goods and live animals and, as far as possible, they will take place in ports, airports and at businesses,” Varadkar said in a speech in Dublin, according to a transcript sent by his office.
While British lawmakers voted this week to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek a three-month delay to Brexit, Varadkar said he thought the political developments in Britain had brought “a significant and growing risk of no deal”.
