Leo Varadkar won’t meet party leaders over Brexit approach

The Taoiseach has refused to meet opposition leaders to formulate a united approach ahead of Brexit talks.

Leo Varadkar has told the Dáil that Ireland will not have to use its veto to block any return to a hard border with Northern Ireland, claiming the country has the full support of our European partners.

“I am very confident that the European Council will operate by consensus and there will be no need to use or threaten to use a veto because we have and will continue to have the support of our European colleagues on the issue of the Border.”
