Simon Coveney: No Brexit deal if Britain threatens to undermine previous agreements

The Minister for Foreign Affairs said: “We got nothing, no calls, no emails, no heads up, nothing.” 

Minister for Foreign Affairs Trade Simon Coveney revealed that the Irish government got no heads up about the British government's plans to overturn parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

The UK’s attempt to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement is "irresponsible," "dangerous" and “eroding trust” the Minister for Foreign Affairs has said.

Speaking at the Agricultural Science Association (ASA) annual conference in Cork this morning, Minister Simon Coveney said the UK’s plans to break international law by breaching parts of the Withdrawal Agreement was “extraordinary.”
