Enda Kenny issues Brexit warning

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has warned that the border of the European Union would run from Dundalk to Derry if Britain votes to leave the EU on June 23.

In a speech at the University of Ulster yesterday, Mr Kenny claimed a “Brexit” would create instability and uncertainty and the likely return of border checkpoints.

“The re-establishment of customs checks on the border, or indeed of any customs arrangements, would be a regrettable and backward step for North-South trade and co-operation” said Mr Kenny.
