Government denies claims by DUP it is 'scaremongering' over Brexit border claims

The Government has denied it is "scaremongering" over "despicable, low and rotten" claims Brexit could see a return to violence in Northern Ireland after a DUP politician accused it of using victims of the Troubles.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Simon Coveney were forced to reject the claim after DUP MP Sammy Wilson said their use of dead people is scraping the "barrel of threats, deception and rhetoric".
