EU bodies 'must accept some of the blame for Brexit' says Fianna Fáil TD

The European Commission and Parliament must accept some of the blame for Brexit, the Dáil has heard.

Speaking during a discussion on the implications of Brexit, Fianna Fáil’s Dara Calleary told the Dáil: “I was struck all week watching the response of the commission and the parliament to see that they were blaming Britain, politicians and everybody, but they need to look to themselves too, particularly in their engagement with this process over the next weeks and months.

“They need to reflect on themselves and on how they have walked away and lost that sense of mission.”
