Fianna Fáil: Brexit would ‘test the capacity’ of Government’

A Brexit would “test the capacity” of the Irish Government, Fianna Fáil’s finance spokesman has warned.

Michael McGrath said a vote this week to leave the European Union would have major political ramifications for Ireland which the already fragile minority Government may not be able to withstand.

It comes after Labour leader Brendan Howlin questioned whether the Government has put robust enough plans in place in the event of a Brexit.
