Helen McEntee tells UK 'your own secretaries have admitted' there is no solution to backstop

The European Affairs Minister has said Ireland would "absolutely not" accept the reopening of the UK's Withdrawal Agreement.

Despite the Commons voting for an "alternative arrangement" to replace the backstop, Ms McEntee told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We are 72 hours on and not only do we not have any proposals, but your own secretaries have admitted that they don't have any and that there is no solution here."
