Taoiseach urges Irish in Britain to vote against Brexit

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has warned Ireland would be one of the worst affected countries if the UK chooses to leave the EU after its imminent Brexit referendum.

The Fine Gael leader issued the warning as he met with Irish people living in London yesterday in a bid to convince them to register to vote before the June 23 decision.

Speaking as he attended the Mayo v London All-Ireland GAA match, Mr Kenny said a “substantial” percentage of the British electorate are Irish citizens who could ultimately decide the referendum result.
