No-deal Brexit 'would have serious consequences for all concerned'

Mr Varadkar and Mr Tusk are holding the talks as British prime minister Theresa May chairs a vital British cabinet meeting in London over the ongoing Brexit stand-off.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and European Council president Donald Tusk have warned of the "serious consequences for all concerned" if a no deal Brexit strikes in just 10 days time.

The two leaders raised the concerns in a statement after a meeting in Dublin this morning which also emphasised the "strong and ongoing solidarity" across the EU with Ireland.
