Tánaiste confirms motorists will need green cards to drive in UK in event of no-deal Brexit

Tánaiste Simon Coveney has confirmed Irish drivers will have to be given "green cards" if they are travelling over the border in a worst-case scenario, no-deal Brexit.

Mr Coveney admitted the new rule may be needed to ensure drivers are insured on both sides of the border in just a matter of weeks, after saying the cards "will be available" to drivers when Britain leaves the EU.
