Brexit will not mean hard border with North, Taoiseach insists

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has re-iterated his belief that Ireland and Britain "have agreed" the Brexit fallout will not result in the return of a hard border, despite ongoing questions over the matter from within the EU, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Correspondent.

The Fine Gael leader made the claim as he insisted Ireland must not prioritise "tactical short-term" opportunities caused by the political crisis and should instead focus on the longer-term needs of this country.
