Simon Coveney: Onus on British government to propose alternative to withdrawal treaty

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney says the onus is now on the British government to propose a viable alternative to the withdrawal treaty.

The Irish government would not block any request from the UK for more time to come up with a Brexit deal, but there needs to be a plan for a “managed, controlled Brexit,” he told RTE’s Morning Ireland.
