Varadkar: Period of chaos after no-deal Brexit

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says a no-deal Brexit would lead to a “period of chaos” which would need his Government, the EU, and Britain to figure out a solution.

He was speaking as the Central Bank warned that a disorderly Brexit scenario could lead to around 4% lower output in the first year. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr Varadkar said a disorderly exit would cause a “major dilemma” which would need to be addressed to avoid a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and the North.
