Taoiseach urges Irish in Britain to ‘Remain’

The Taoiseach has urged the Irish in Britain to come out to vote claiming they may make the difference in the outcome of the Brexit referendum.

With polls placing both the Remain and Leave sides neck and neck, Mr Kenny has urged the 330,000 Irish who are eligible to vote to use their ballot to keep Britain in the European Union.

In an op-ed in today’s Guardian newspaper Mr Kenny writes that it is not his place to dictate to the British electorate but instead speaks directly to Irish in Britain.
