EU would respond positively to British move on Brexit: Ireland
GARYVOE, Ireland - The European Union would respond positively if the British government shifts its position in Brexit talks in the coming weeks as the dangers of a no-deal exit become clearer, Ireland’s foreign minister said on Thursday.
To date the British government has offered “nothing that comes close” to what is needed to secure Irish and EU agreement, but British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has shown a “willingness to try and explore new approaches,” Ireland’s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney told reporters on Thursday. Ireland’s preferred method of keeping the border open is via a “backstop” mechanism that would ensure that either Northern Ireland or all of the United Kingdom remains in regulatory alignment with the EU after Brexit.
