Leo Varadkar criticised for Brexit stance

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is set to face criticism over Ireland’s post-Brexit border stance when he travels North this week following his insistence that Ireland will not stand for a divide on the island.

Tensions between Dublin and unionists, as well as with London, are escalating over Brexit, while power-sharing still remains unresolved in the North.

Mr Varadkar will meet different parties, including unionists, when he travels to Belfast for two days this week, his first visit there since becoming Taoiseach.
