Gov to keep no-deal border plans secret until two weeks before Brexit deadline, says Tánaiste

Tánaiste Simon Coveney said the Government will keep its no-deal border plans secret until two weeks before the October 31 deadline.

Update 6pm: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar admits that some Irish jobs and companies will be forced to close as a direct result of a no-deal Brexit regardless of any protections the Government puts in place.

Mr Varadkar issued the grim warning as the Dáil returned on Tuesday saying that "some jobs won't be saved", as Tánaiste Simon Coveney said the Government will keep its no-deal border plans secret until two weeks before the Oct 31 deadline.
