Taoiseach calls on Ireland to be 'grown ups in the room' on Brexit

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has called on Ireland to become the "grown-ups in the room" after the EU agreed to allow Britain to extend the Brexit deadline until October 31 - despite serious concerns the UK could sabotage the entire bloc.

After almost six hours of talks last night, EU leaders agreed to extend the looming Brexit deadline until October 31, which is also Halloween night.
