Bruton: 'UK post Brexit 'trade war' with EU will put Irish jobs at risk'

A Government minister has admitted Irish jobs are at risk if the UK chooses to open a damaging post-Brexit "trade war" with the EU, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Education Minister Richard Bruton said "any arrangement that erects barriers" between Ireland and its nearest neighbour is not in our interests as he accepted the possibility of trade tariffs and corporate tax cuts in Britain is now on the table.
