Taoiseach: Cabal will not decide terms of UK’s exit from EU

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has insisted that it will be the 27 EU leaders and not any inner cabal who will decide how Britain’s exit from the European Union should happen.

In the Dáil yesterday, Mr Kenny gave voice to the considerable anger within Government here at the holding of a meeting by six founding countries of the European community on Saturday.

“I want to make clear that it is the European Council under the leadership of Donald Tusk, and not any other EU institution or subgroup, which has overall political control of the process,” he said.
