Enda Kenny: ‘Break out of bubble of politics’

The Taoiseach has urged European leaders to “break out of the bubble of politics”.

Addressing an event attended by EU heads including Angela Merkel, Mariano Rajoy and European Council president Donald Tusk, Enda Kenny also warned of the drift from centre politics and the threat of a new right revolution which he said “will not be televised, it will be tweeted”.

Turning to Brexit, he appealed to European leaders to include Ireland’s “unique circumstances” in the “ground rules” of talks.
