Outlook for next round of Brexit talks 'not good', warns Tánaiste

The challenges of Covid-19 have made Brexit more complicated and raised the stakes, while the outlook for the next phase of negotiations is "not good", the Tánaiste has said.

Speaking in the Dáil, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney, said he could not say whether the UK would ask for an extension of Brexit negotiations beyond June 30, however much he personally believes it is needed.
