Kenny: Brexit too much responsibility for one single person to handle

The Taoiseah has said he has not appointed a Brexit minister as it is “far too serious” a responsibility for one person to handle.

Enda Kenny said there would be “very tough” negotiations which would “not be easy” between the UK and Europe when Article 50 is triggered and talks can start.

“Clearly there is going to be some hard talking done here and that will arise from the decision of whatever the British government is,” he said after an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels yesterday.
