‘Dublin would welcome second Brexit vote’

Tánaiste Simon Coveney says Ireland would welcome a final referendum on Brexit — a vote that could ultimately allow Britain to stay in the EU.

Though Ireland must now be a “friend” of Britain as Brexit talks move into phase two in the coming weeks and begin to address future trade arrangements, he said.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the foreign affairs minister said that Ireland will not interfere with British politics, but that Dublin would welcome a second Brexit vote.
