Taoiseach reveals Ireland will seek EU funds to counter effects of Brexit

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has suggested that Ireland will directly seek extra funds from the European Union for businesses and areas hit by Brexit, writes Juno McEnroe of the Irish Examiner.

In a key speech in Dublin today, the Taoiseach also said he was confident the EU would not bring Ireland back to the "borders of division" after Brexit is triggered.
