Finance minister: Risk of no-deal Brexit is growing

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has warned that the risks of a no-deal Brexit are growing. Amid continued political chaos in the UK and growing pressure on its prime minister, Theresa May, to resign over the Brexit impasse, Mr Donohoe called on businesses here to make preparations.

In Dublin, he said: “The risks of a no-deal Brexit scenario facing Ireland later on this year are building. I still believe it is still very much possible for an agreement to be reached that protects our national interests and facilitates an orderly exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union.”
