'Putting off' finding border solution 'isn't enough' to resolve Brexit stand-off, Taoiseach warns Theresa May

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned British prime minister Theresa May "just putting off" finding a solution to a hard Irish border until 2021 "isn't enough" to resolve the ongoing Brexit stand-off.

Speaking to reporters at the headquarters of the Orange Order in Belfast, Mr Varadkar said while Britain's suggestion all of the UK could remain in the customs union until 2021 is a "small step" in the right direction, the plan is still likely to be rejected by the EU.
