Taoiseach warns of checks 'close to the border' and long-term Brexit impacts

The Taoiseach has warned that checks will need to take place "close to the border" in the case of a no-deal Brexit.

Speaking at an event this evening Leo Varadkar said even in a best-case scenario, where the UK leaves the EU with a deal, discussions on a new free trade agreement and a new economic and security partnership will be “fraught” and protracted.
