Coveney: Brexit will dominate agenda for rest of year
Tánaiste Simon Coveney has warned that Ireland's frictionless trade with the UK will end on December 31, and the country is facing a cliff-edge fall into tariff-laden trade.
He said this is because the UK has made it clear it will not seek an extension to the Brexit transition period, which will kick in once Britain leaves the EU at 11pm on Friday night.
