Micheál Martin: Elements of Irish Brexit strategy failed

Key elements of the Government’s Brexit strategy have “failed” and there should now be a push to designate the North as a special economic zone, says Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin.

Delivering a speech at the MacGill Summer School, he took aim at the Conservative Party in Britain over Brexit and their “cavalier disregard” for peace in the North.

Mr Martin also wants the Government to stop spinning about Brexit and provide an alternative solution, as its attempts to prioritise Ireland have “failed”.
