Varadkar backs EU demand that UK detail border plans

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has welcomed the EU’s demand that Britain come up with detailed post-Brexit solutions on the border.

After publishing the EU’s first position paper, Europe’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said he was “worried” by the UK paper on Ireland and the North.

“The UK wants to use Ireland as a kind of test case for the future EU/UK customs relations. This will not happen,” he said.
