Varadkar to press Johnson for action
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is set to warn British prime minister Boris Johnson the time for a last-ditch Brexit deal is “shrinking rapidly” when the two rivals meet in New York amid growing hard border fears.
Government sources said Mr Varadkar will stress the need for London to “step up a gear” in any talks with Brussels during a private meeting at the UN climate change summit in the next 48 hours.
