Varadkar: Majority in North would like rejected border deal

The majority of people in the North would favour the Brexit border deal rejected by the DUP, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has told the Dáil.

Mr Varadkar said he is confident that the stalled agreement, which had laid out regulatory alignment across the island of Ireland after Brexit, could still be rubber-stamped before a crunch European Council meeting next week.

However, he warned that the DUP, who hold the balance of power in propping up Theresa’s May’s minority Conservative government, are not the only party in the North and said they do not represent the views of the majority of citizens in the North.
