Brexit ruling: PM Theresa May declines request to address Dáil about Brexit

British prime minister Theresa May has refused to address the Dáil on Brexit, following a request from TDs, despite a fresh UK court ruling throwing Britain’s EU exit into more disarray.

Her refusal came as the British courts upheld a ruling yesterday that Westminster must vote on whether Ms May can start the Brexit process.

The ruling that Britain’s parliament must approve the triggering of Article 50 has raised doubts as to whether the process will start by the end of March.
