Coveney: Ireland won't compromise 'fragile' peace process

Ireland will not compromise on the peace process even though Britain has "wiped the slate clean" on its Brexit commitments, according to Tánaiste Simon Coveney.

The critical remarks were made as the Brexit crisis escalated following the British government's decision to shut down the House of Commons ahead of the October 31 deadline. The five-week suspension will limit the ability of some MPs to stop Britain crashing out of the EU at the end of October without a deal.
