Bruton called on the DUP to use their influence to reopen questions relating to customs and human rights.

Former Taoiseach John Bruton has warned of the risk of clashes on the high seas in the wake of Brexit.

Mr Bruton, who previously served as the European Union's ambassador in Washington, said it is easy to imagine physical confrontations over fishing rights in the seas around Britain and Ireland.
