Brexit Omnibus Bill: What happens if UK crash out with no deal?

As the Government make their plans for the ever-more-likely scenario of a no-deal Brexit, Juno McEnroe looks at the main areas of the Brexit Omnibus Bill designed to protect citizens, services and businesses if Britain crashes out of the EU without a deal on March 29

Tánaiste Simon Coveney has launched emergency measures to protect Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit, emphasising that the Irish backstop will not be "jettisoned” by the EU at the last minute.

Mr Coveney said his only desire is to see the emergency laws "sit on a shelf" but noted that they are needed to ensure that services, transport and arrangements with Britain continue to work.
