Brexit negotiations could be ‘quite vicious’

Brexit negotiations could be “quite vicious” and may be triggered as early as next month, Taoiseach Enda Kenny has warned.

Speaking at the the first all-island civic dialogue on Brexit, Mr Kenny described it as an “evolving process” but cautioned Europe could “lose the plot” if it focuses too much on what Britain might do.

The forum was attended by around 300 people including members of political parties from North and South of the border, farming, business and tourism organisations as well as community groups, unions, and representatives from the university sector.
