Brexit risks ‘diminishing’ EU project, says Charlie Flanagan

Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan says Brexit has led to the greater risk of a “diminishing” of the EU project as whole.

Mr Flanagan is now due to meet with David Davis, the minister responsible for leading Britain’s negotiations for leaving the EU, in the next 10 days.

Yesterday at a gathering of Ireland’s ambassadors, consuls general and other senior diplomats, the minister outlined the dangers and wider risks posed by Brexit.
