Varadkar backs 32km North-Scotland 'Boris Bridge'

Proposals to build a 32km-long bridge connecting the North with Scotland have received the backing of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

However, Ireland and the EU will not pay for the ambitious project. A value-for-money assessment of the connection between the two islands should now go ahead, said Mr Varadkar, who spoke to British prime minister Boris Johnson about the idea recently.
