Simon Coveney: UK crash out could still happen by accident or default

The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney has warned that “a crash out” by the UK from the European Union could still happen “by accident or default.”

The legal position remains that the UK will leave the EU at 11pm on March 29th, he said. If that position is to change then legislation will have to be introduced and passed in Westminster.
