Taoiseach: Ireland is ‘flexible’ over Brexit

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has insisted Ireland is being “flexible” in its attempts to help Britain out of a Brexit crisis “of its own creation” with just one week to go before a crucial House of Commons vote on the existing EU deal.

Mr Varadkar made the comments ahead of an informal meeting of the Cabinet at Farmleigh House last night to discuss the latest Brexit developments.
