MEPs lobby for EU agencies in Britain to move to ‘ideally placed’ Ireland

Ireland is ideally placed to take control of some of the most powerful European agencies currently based in the UK, a number of Irish MEPs have claimed.

The MEPs said Ireland should fight to get the EU bodies based in Britain which will have to leave as a result of the Brexit vote.

Speaking ahead of a crunch meeting today between EU leaders on the fallout from Brexit, Brian Hayes said Ireland has a lot to benefit from with a British exit.
