Enda Kenny: No Brexit deal on use of Irish ports as border control points

No agreement exists with the British government about the use of Irish ports as border control points, Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said.

British ministers including secretary of state for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire had claimed London and Dublin were working to strengthen Ireland’s external borders to combat illegal migration into the UK after Brexit.

He said such a “high level of collaboration” would help avoid the introduction of a hard border between North and South.
