Taoiseach: Brexit would do serious damage

The Taoiseach, ahead of his UK visit today, has warned Brexit would do “serious damage” to competitiveness, would increase costs for business, and lead to the reintroduction of border control.

Enda Kenny is to meet with Irish communities in Manchester and Liverpool today before travelling to Scotland tomorrow to campaign for a remain vote.

Labour leader Brendan Howlin will also today be in Liverpool in a bid to shore up support for the Remain side.
