Hard won gains of NI peace process 'cannot be undermined by Brexit', says Tánaiste

Brexit cannot undermine the hard won gains of the Northern Ireland peace process, Tánaiste Simon Coveney has said.

On a trip to the US, which will include meetings with officials from President Donald Trump's administration, Mr Coveney said a strategic objective of the Brexit negotiations for Ireland was the creation of the closest possible future connection between the European Union and the UK.
