Simon Coveney: Post-Brexit transition ‘up to four years’

A post-Brexit transition period should be “as long as necessary” and potentially up to four years, the Foreign Affairs minister has said.

Speaking at the All-Island Civic Dialogue on Brexit, Simon Coveney said a longer transition period of anywhere between two and four years would be better for this country.

However, he warned that he is not satisfied with the speed of negotiations, claiming “we are not where we need to be” on the issue of the border with Northern Ireland.
