Kenny: 'Major trade barriers' will exist between Ireland and the UK if agreement cannot be reached

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said major trade barriers will have to exist between Ireland and the United Kingdom, if agreement on Brexit cannot be reached within two years writes Irish Examiner Political Editor Daniel McConnell.

Mr Kenny was speaking at the Oireachtas Finance committee to discuss the budget for his department but the session was dominated by the vote in the UK last week and the ensuing political chaos.
